This ^^^^^^^^^^^ is the culprit of your problem :)  You must update to
f11 (at least) to get all of the package versions that parted is
currently using.  And even then I'd think you would be missing stuff
like xz.

Another thing you could do is to install autotools stuff from f11, while
still keeping your f9 installation.
