===================================
1 of 8 tests failed
Please report to bug-parted@gnu.org
===================================
according to the upstream mailing list, the failure is because the tests are
marked test_expect_failure, but they actually work now, so the attached patch
changes them to test_expect_success. this change has already been commited to
the upstream git tree.
