Package: parallel
Version: 20161222-1.1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When running parallel with multiple threads on multiple hosts
with the same home directory on all hosts, that is nfs mounted home
or as in my case gluster mounted home, you get the error:

parallel: This should not happen. You have found a bug.
Please contact paral...@gnu.org and include:

    The version number: 20161222
    The bugid: loadavg_invalid_content: 
/home/marcus/.parallel/tmp/loadavg-myhost
    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.

Searching online I found a reason to beleave that this is a bug in older 
versions
of parallel and the recomendation was to upgrade to a newer version.
I got the latest version from gnu parallel (GNU parallel 20201122) and just 
copied the perl script file
parallel into /usr/bin/parallel.

After this everything was working fine and we never got the error again.
