Yes I imagine, later I found
parted-1.6.19-hfs-16

But still does not works, this one needs the /parted-1.6.19-hfs-16.patch.gz??

I got this results
2fundacion:~/par/parted-1.6.19-hfs-16# parted -v
GNU Parted 1.6.19 with HFS shrink patch 16
2fundacion:~/par/parted-1.6.19-hfs-16# parted /dev/hdd
GNU Parted 1.6.19 with HFS shrink patch 16
