Package: mpi-default-bin Version: 0.6 Severity: normal Hi! After installing 'mpi-default-bin', i get the following message:
update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/mpirun.openmpi to provide /usr/bin/mpirun (mpirun) in auto mode. which is fine. However, it seems that openmpi-bin also adjusts the mpiexec-symlink: r...@asus:/home/tmac# ls -l /etc/alternatives/mpiexec lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Apr 26 22:49 /etc/alternatives/mpiexec -> /usr/bin/mpiexec.openmpi Before installation of 'mpi-default-bin', this pointed to a mpich2 mpiexec. The mystery is: mpiexec doesn't seem to be a valid alternatives "keyword": r...@asus:/home/tmac# update-alternatives --display mpiexec update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for mpiexec. At the same time: r...@asus:/home/tmac# ls -l /usr/bin/mpiexec* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Apr 26 22:49 /usr/bin/mpiexec -> /etc/alternatives/mpiexec -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 50184 Apr 20 10:44 /usr/bin/mpiexec.gforker -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 135472 Apr 20 10:44 /usr/bin/mpiexec.hydra lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Apr 21 02:27 /usr/bin/mpiexec.mpich2 -> ../share/mpich2/mpiexec.py lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Apr 26 22:49 /usr/bin/mpiexec.openmpi -> orterun Bottom line: I don't understand how mpi-default-bin can modify my /etc/alternatives/mpiexec symlink, while at the same time 'mpiexec' is not a valid alternatives symlink, as displayed by the failure of the 'update-alternatives' command above? Btw, is there a way to see a valid list of alternatives keywords? It is apparently not enough to look at the symlinks in /etc/alternatives, since some of them will not be accessible through the update-alternatives command. Thanks!
