I build 1.7.1-2 from 
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/parted/parted_1.7.1.orig.tar.gz 
with debian patches and got the same error:

/usr/local/sbin/parted /dev/hda
GNU Parted 1.7.1
Using /dev/hda
Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.
(parted) print
Error: Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition.
(parted)
Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary

This bug might affects sparc64 which also uses pseudo BSD disklabel for 
its partition table.
