Okay, it is only in the 'Yes' case and I mean that parted asks for the
end although it has been provided on the command line already.

# parted /dev/sda resizepart 1 100%
Warning: Partition /dev/sda1 is being used. Are you sure you want to
continue?
Yes/No? yes
End? [2147MB]?

Okay, the patch description has to be reworked in this regard.

What about this?:

"The check and the warning for that are located in the middle of
parameter checking. If telling parted to continue anyways, then it asks
for the partition end although it has been provided as a parameter
already. So move that after parameter checking."
