Package: src:mpich,src:petsc Severity: serious Tags: sid stretch patch
the petsc configury expects both /usr/lib/<mpi>/include and /usr/lib/<mpi>/lib, or else it fails. openmpi provides these, while mpich is missing this symlink.
with this patch, and the additional patch in #811229, petsc should build on mpich based archs.
I think this should be fixed in mpich, not in petsc.
