Package: src:blacs-mpi Version: 1.1-29 Severity: serious Justification: causes other packages to FTBFS Tags: patch
Greetings, The blacs-mpi package gets the MPI implementation incorrect on alpha. Because it Build-Depends on libopenmpi-dev, which is not the default on alpha (LAM is), and because OpenMPI's mpi alternatives symlink is at a higher priority than that of LAM, line 9 of debian/rules sets BLACS_MPI to openmpi, messing everything else up. This causes other packages, such as mumps, to FTBFS, because they think there should be a libblacs-lam.so when there is none. This also prevents BLACS from building at all on architectures without OpenMPI, such as armel, hppa, mips[el] and s390. The attached patch should fix this problem. One note: the blacs-mpi FTBFS in bug 614528 (February 22) was probably caused by bug 608717/609830 (closed March 11), so removing libopenmpi-dev from Build-Depends should not cause that problem to happen again.
