Root Cause Analysis 🔍

The source archive URL https://ftp.wayne.edu/gnu/parallel/parallel-20251222.tar.bz2 returned a 404 Not Found error. The initial URL https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnu/parallel/parallel-20251222.tar.bz2 redirected to the Wayne University mirror, but that mirror does not have the requested file. This suggests the parallel-20251222.tar.bz2 file may not be available yet on mirror sites, or there may be a version/naming issue with the source URL.

Analysis

Looking at the similar build failures, all three cases involve network/availability issues with GNU mirror sites returning 404 errors for specific package versions. The consistent pattern across all fixes is that the version was updated to a newer release that was actually available on the mirror sites. In Fix Example #0, parallel was updated from 20251022 to 20251122. In Fix Example #2, parallel was updated from 20250922 to 20251022. The root cause in all cases was attempting to fetch a version that doesn't exist or isn't yet available on the mirror network. The fix pattern is straightforward: update to an available version and correspondingly update the SHA256 checksum.

Explanation

The current build failure is attempting to download parallel-20251222.tar.bz2, but this version appears to not be available on the GNU mirror network yet, resulting in 404 errors. Based on Fix Example #0, we know that parallel version 20251122 is available and works correctly with the provided SHA256 checksum. This fix follows the exact same pattern as the successful fixes in the examples - downgrading to a known working version that's actually available on the mirrors. The version 20251122 was successfully used in Fix Example #0, so we can be confident it will work. This approach maintains the principle of using recent upstream versions while ensuring build reliability by using a version that's actually distributed.

Alternative Approaches

• Wait for version 20251222 to become available on GNU mirrors and retry the build later
• Use a different mirror or direct upstream source URL that might have the 20251222 version
• Check if there's a more recent version (like 20251322 or 20260122) that might be available
• Use the GNU official download site directly instead of the mirror redirect service
