In Sql Server Management Studio (SSMS), under SQL Server Agent -> Jobs, expand the job folder. Right click on the job for the MP failing and select properties. Select the Steps tab and click Edit. In Job Step Properties - Subplan dialog, add a slash(\) infront of the Package: name and click Ok | Ok to save and exit. See attachment.
