The `---pretend-input-tty` parameter doesn't work for me on parted 3.3-4
in Ubuntu 20.
I ended up having to use fdisk to delete and then re-create the partition:
```
printf "d\nn\np\n1\n\n\nn\np\nw\n" | fdisk -B /dev/sda
```

This tries tries the "correct" version first and if it fails (because
the partition is mounted) then uses the workaround.

It does seem to work, but some things are a bit annoying

Looks like it actually expects the 'yes' before the partition end. i.e.:
sudo parted /dev/vdb 1 yes 1000
appears to work.
