Hi Dirk and Manuel, > Thanks for taking the time to report a bug.
Thanks for a quick reply. > | $ wajig install libopenmpi-dev > > At this point, did you have other MPI packages like LAM or MPICH installed? Nothing. I purged everything. I installed openmpi. I purged openmpi and checked again everything is purged, installed openmpi. Then did the same procedure on 3 different computers (i386 and amd64). Only then filled a bugreport, after observing the exact same behavior on all of them. Note: I had mpich and lam installed before, but I purged them. > This *does* install mpicc.openmpi and friends. > > Did you by chance ever alter the handling of alternatives in > /etc/alternatives?

So something is wrong on all my Debian systems. $ wajig remove libopenmpi1 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: libopenmpi-dev libopenmpi1 openmpi-bin 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 3 to remove and 1 not upgraded. Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 7422kB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? (Reading database ... 149065 files and directories currently installed.) Removing libopenmpi-dev ... Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/sbin/update-alternatives line 432. Removing openmpi-bin ... Removing libopenmpi1 ... Notice the problem in update-alternatives. I again tried to install libopenmpi-dev and it again doesn't work. I tried installing, removing and installing again in pbuilder - it works. Hm. Something is wrong with update-alternatives - probably screwed up by mpich, or lam packages. Any ideas? Ondrej -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
