Reassigning to Open MPI maintainers. It’s been 2 months, and this issue has not been addressed. In the meantime, I’m starting to smell packages build-depending on mpi-default-dev that will prevent transitions from happening. You were right in reassigning, since openmpi should have a bug of its own for this failure. However, mpi-defaults is buggy as well, because it’s failing to provide packages for alpha. I also see #517543 now. IMO, either that patch is correct and can be applied soon, or mpi-defaults needs to start thinking about using an alternative implementation on alpha. Thoughts? Additionally, Manuel, what can you tell us about the openmpi FTBFS on sparc [1]? That’s sort of important too, because the way openmpi is packaged has rendered the old libopenmpi-dev uninstallable on sparc.
