If Canonical gives this promise and it or its package maintainers cannot
keep it (namely: updating a non-critical package), than this is not a
bug which warrants reporting a developer (or many) which went on in the
meantime but to the respective ubuntu maintainer. Or?

I will do that. However, I will also point out that THIS is the
version that is installed with a simple apt-get in Ubuntu 16.04 -- a
LTS system.
So if the most recent updates to 16.04 breaks THIS version of parallel
-- then it is still a bug that warrants reporting.

Hello,
I have used your code for a while now without any issues, but
all of a sudden it has started throwing an error message at me.
I am writing as directed in the error message itself.
Even just running one of the examples in the man document
produces the same error:
parallel: This should not happen. You have found a bug.
Please contact < [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> and
include:
* The version number: 20141022
* The bugid: pidtable format: 2009 1971
* The command line being run
* The files being read (put the files on a webserver if they are
big)
If you get the error on smaller/fewer files, please include those
instead.
In this case I put a pile of .png files into a directory and then
from within that directory ran:
>> find . -name '*.png' | parallel gzip --best
I recognize that this is an older version of parallel, but it is
the one that comes with Ubuntu 16.04 and it has worked FINE up
until I tried it today. The last time I ran it was about 2 weeks
ago and it worked fine then. I have done standard security
updates of my linux box since then, but no major upgrades or any
other software installations since then.
Thank you kindly for your help with this issue,
-- Jonathan
