Try this command at a terminal prompt:

$ aptitude search par2
id  gpar2                                                        - A GUI for verifying and repairing PAR and PAR2 recovery sets           
id  libpar2-0                                                    - A library for performing comman tasks related to PAR recovery sets     
p   libpar2-0-dev                                                - Headers for the libpar2-0 library                                      
id  par2                                                         - Parity Archive Volume Set, for checking and repair of files            
id  pypar2                                                       - graphical frontend for the par2 utility                                

These are in the Universe repository - you may need to turn that on in 'sources'. They work just fine.

Cheers,
Paul.
