I think a new upload is definitely a good idea. I also thought of removing all blocks from our bug first, and directly block the bug in gromacs by dpkg. (Reassigning the blocking bug, so to say.) TTBOMK, we're "out" of this since we fixed the bug. It not working effectively in gromacs is a problem that exists because of a broken alternatives, not openmpi. As far as I understand the BTS, we can't close our bug with an upload because the dpkg need to be closed first. By unblocking first, we circumvent that. (As said, it's not an openmpi bug per se.) Dirk, what do you think about that? It fixes at least one of the bugs. I'll help Nicholas with the others because I care about gromacs as well, but that's a different story; I see no point in waiting for all RC bugs fixed at the same time. (Meaning, I agree with you here.) I can write the needed mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] later, if you think that's the way to go. But before uploading, we should make a test build again, since I'm not sure what's the situation with the shlibs issue. Best regards Manuel
