Package: openmpi-bin Version: 1.2.7~rc2-1 Tags: lenny The openmpi-bin package adds an alternative 'mpiexec' that controls /usr/bin/mpiexec and its manpage.
However, another MPI implementation (lam-runtime) adds a single alternative class 'mpirun' that includes the 'mpiexec' command and its manpage as a slave. This causes alternatives resolution to be order dependent: Even though lam-runtime adds the slave 'mpiexec' along with 'mpirun' at priority 30, 'mpiexec' may get overridden if openmpi-bin gets installed (or configured) after it. (On etch, a similar problem exists, except that 'mpiexec' also includes the 'mpirun' command, extending the problem to its scope.) What about merging openmpi-bin's 'mpiexec' alternative as a slave into 'mpirun'? Best regards, Alexander Achenbach -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
