I do have that package installed and it appears the failure happens
just before that program is called:

make[5]: Entering directory
`/home/psusi/parted/parted-3.1.133-ae37/_build/doc/C'
cd ../../../doc/C; \
	test -w . || exit 0; \
	for name in parted.8 partprobe.8; do \
		echo $name; \
		cp po/$name.pot po/$name.new.pot; \
		po4a-updatepo -f man -m $name -p po/$name.new.pot; \
		diff -I '^\"POT-Creation-Date: ' po/$name.pot po/$name.new.pot 2>&1
> /dev/null; \
		if [ $? ]; then \
			mv po/$name.new.pot po/$name.pot; \
		else \
			rm -f po/$name.new.pot; \
		fi; \
	done


It looks to me like that is first trying to copy an existing pot file
before running po4a-updatepo, and that's the point of failure since it
does not yet exist:

parted.8
cp: cannot stat 'po/parted.8.pot': No such file or directory
Error while copying the PO file: No such file or directory
diff: po/parted.8.pot: No such file or directory
diff: po/parted.8.new.pot: No such file or directory
