For what it's worth it did build successfully in Ubuntu Precise on Launchpad.
https://launchpad.net/~brad-froehle/+archive/3dg/+packages?field.name_filter=mpi4py&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=precise Lastly, I was overly specific in the debian/*.install files. It suffices to just do: === debian/python-mpi4py.install === usr/lib/python2*/*-packages/* === debian/python3-mpi4py.install === usr/lib/python3*/*-packages/* I've rebuilt the packages, confirmed with debdiff that there were no changes and pushed to Github. Any word on the libffi issue? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
