    Hi,

    sometimes, i did fetch the deb file from https://packages.debian.org
    even for another OS than the one, i am running, just to inspect its details.

    This time, i was unable to find/download the deb file for https://packages.debian.org/de/sid/parallel

    Could someone more knowledgeable explain, why there seems to be none or
    hint me to a workaround?

    Your URL is for the package description page, which lists the
    dependencies etc and then the architectures. As parallel is
    suitable for all architectures, you would click "All" and arrive at:

    https://packages.debian.org/de/sid/all/parallel/download

    which is the page with links for around the world. I downloaded:

    http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/parallel/parallel_20240222+ds-2_all.deb

    successfully from the top left link. You would presumably use the
    top right link for ftp.de.debian.org instead.

    Cheers,
    David.
