I am always looking for neat examples to use GNU Parallel for. Today I had access to a Debian machine where all files in /usr/lib had been replaced with zeros. So the file names were correct, but the content was wrong.
So the solution is: Find the files, find which package provides the
file, reinstall those packages:
find /usr/lib -maxdepth 1 -type f -iname "*lib*" | parallel dpkg -S |
parallel --colsep : -uj1 apt-get install --reinstall {1}
Did you do anything neat with parallel?
