NAK. These make a pile of the tests fail:

==========================================
   GNU parted 3.1: tests/test-suite.log
   ==========================================
   # TOTAL: 77
   # PASS:  27
   # SKIP:  35
   # XFAIL: 0
   # FAIL:  15
   # XPASS: 0
   # ERROR: 0
   .. contents:: :depth: 2

looks like at least one core dump in the mix.
