At a first glance it seems like I messed something up with | alternatives, not creating the links in the right place or something | like that. So I fu**ed that up. I'm sorry! I'm at work too so I didn't have time to check yet. Recall that the final links are actually created by the debhelper tools in conjunction with ldd, ie what 'dpkg -c' typically shows at the end lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2007-12-12 13:13 ./usr/lib/openmpi/lib/libopen-pal.so.0 -> libopen-pal.so.0.0.0 lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2007-12-12 13:13 ./usr/lib/openmpi/lib/libmpi.so.0 -> libmpi.so.0.0.0 lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2007-12-12 13:13 ./usr/lib/openmpi/lib/libmpi_f77.so.0 -> libmpi_f77.so.0.0.0 lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2007-12-12 13:13 ./usr/lib/openmpi/lib/libmpi_cxx.so.0 -> libmpi_cxx.so.0.0.0 lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2007-12-12 13:13 ./usr/lib/openmpi/lib/libmpi_f90.so.0 -> libmpi_f90.so.0.0.0 lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2007-12-12 13:13 ./usr/lib/openmpi/lib/libopen-rte.so.0 -> libopen-rte.so.0.0.0 lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2007-12-12 13:13 ./usr/lib/openmpi/lib/libmca_common_sm.so.0 -> libmca_common_sm.so.0.0.0 are already symlinks. I am thoroughly confused now as to what we should do in terms a superior technical solution. And quite frankly, I *personally* don't care if we can co-exists with LAM and MPICH as I don't use those. That said, this somewhat radical view is not the one I recommend as package co-maintainer. We should play nice with the other _if possible_ without hideous hacks.
