Hello,

Investigating bug #1230838, I noticed that when installing mmg3d-libs, dnf installs Konsole output ptscotch-mpich, whereas yum-deprecated installs scotch. Both scotch and ptscotch-mpich provide the required libscotch.so.0()(64bit), albeit one in /usr/lib64/ and the other one in /usr/lib64/mpich/lib/:

$ dnf repoquery --requires mmg3d-libs
[...]
libscotch.so.0()(64bit)
libscotcherr.so.0()(64bit)
[...]


$ dnf provides 'libscotch.so.0()(64bit)'
ptscotch-mpich-6.0.4-2.fc23.x86_64 : PT-Scotch libraries compiled against mpich
Repo        : rawhide

ptscotch-openmpi-6.0.4-2.fc23.x86_64 : PT-Scotch libraries compiled against openmpi
Repo        : rawhide

scotch-6.0.4-2.fc23.x86_64 : Graph, mesh and hypergraph partitioning library
Repo        : rawhide


Konsole output $ dnf repoquery -l scotch.x86_64 | grep libscotch.so.0
/usr/lib64/libscotch.so.0
/usr/lib64/libscotch.so.0.2


Konsole output $ dnf repoquery -l ptscotch-mpich.x86_64 | grep libscotch.so.0
/usr/lib64/mpich/lib/libscotch.so.0
/usr/lib64/mpich/lib/libscotch.so.0.2


$ dnf install mmg3d-libs

 scotch


So, whose fault is this? Packaging of dnf? Nothing relevant for this caught my eye skimming through the packaging guidelines.

And related: trying to install some $pkg-openmpi package, I don't generally see packages enforcing that the -openmpi version of some dependency library is installed as opposed to just the regular libs package. Should such requires need to be stated explicitly?

Thanks,
Sandro
