Package: par2
Version: 0.4-2
Severity: normal
On a 700MB set of 48x15MB files I downloaded from usenet [1], par2
thinks it can repair, but the repaired file fails verification.

I gather that Reed Solomon codes can sometimes require more par
blocks than normal, if the missing blocks form unlucky polynomial
coefficients or something... Maybe par2 isn't detecting that?

email me if you want me to do something like put these files on a web
