Package: libhdf5-mpi-dev
Version: 1.8.4-patch1-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Greetings,

The libhdf5-mpi-dev package depends on libopenmpi-dev whether the
platform defaults to openmpi or lam.  This is because it checks
the /etc/alternatives symlink to mpi, which will always point to openmpi
for hdf5, because it build-depends on all of the MPI implementations,
and OpenMPI has the highest priority.

(This was my mistake in copying the old PETSc MPI rule; PETSc's build
process installs only the arch's default MPI so there's only
one /etc/alternatives candidate.)

The attached patch vs. current SVN checks the dependency of the
mpi-default-dev package instead, so it is always consistent with
mpi-defaults.

Thanks,
Adam
