Hi Anton, [Just addressing d-s-m since I think we're all subscribed, and adding the HDF5 maintainers.]

There's a similar problem with the MED library: it build-depends on
libhdf5-mpi-dev, which depends on libhdf5-openmpi-7, and hdf5-tools,
which depends on libhdf5-7.

Given that Paraview and PETSc are basically parallel (can run on 1 CPU
but are really built for more; MED is in the same category), I think it
makes sense for them both to link with libhdf5-openmpi-7. So if
Paraview builds with libhdf5-mpi-dev that should solve this problem --
unless it requires hdf5-tools to build like MED.
Here are two other ways to solve the problem:
* Change the sonames of the -openmpi, -mpich[2] and -lam HDF5
libraries so libhdf5-7 does not conflict with libhdf5-openmpi-7
etc.
* Make a new hdf5-mpi-tools package, or a set of four (one for
each MPI implementation) with a meta-package depending on the
arch-specific MPI implementation.
HDF5 team, what do you think? I'd be happy to propose a patch for
either of the above remedies.
