output of pkg list is as follows

octave:1> pkg list
Package Name  | Version | Installation directory
--------------+---------+-----------------------
    parallel *|   2.0.0 | /usr/share/octave/packages/3.2/parallel-2.0.0

the 3.2 is the default location without me tampering .
when i ran the command  sudo apt-get install octave-parallel
it shows dependency on octave3.2 and installs it

the pserver error comes with octave3.0

when working with octave 3.2 it generates a segmentation fault
