Well, that doesn't show the direct dependencies on "parted". Package
"parted" contains shared libs, which likely are linked with desktop
framework components which cannot be removed. A basic and more direct
depcheck is like this (but not with KDE):

# rpm --test --erase parted
error: Failed dependencies:
	libparted.so.2()(64bit) is needed by (installed) libvirt-daemon-0.10.2.1-3.fc18.x86_64
	parted is needed by (installed) libvirt-daemon-0.10.2.1-3.fc18.x86_64
	parted is needed by (installed) udisks2-2.0.0-1.fc18.x86_64
