Thanks for the report.
It appears that you're reporting test failures
from parted-1.9.0 (based on your Subject:),
when run on a gentoo system.

parted-1.9 is so old that regression test
failures in it are not worth pursuing.

If you can repeat the process with the latest from git
the details of any test failures would be more useful.

Normally, when you follow the recommended build-and-test
procedure, you would send in a log with specific details of
each test failure.

Here's the build-from-latest procedure:
