Source: netgen Followup-For: Bug #1149728 X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], [email protected]
Hi, I am not fully sure why this has been filed against src:netgen. To me, it seems that there is nothing we can do from here. The error message clearly says that it is due to some incompatibility between PMIx and PRRTE. A similar bug #1147135 is even open with Package: src:prrte and Affects: src:pmix, with basically the same error message. The same error message appears in debci runs for src:mpi4py, src:petsc, src:dolfin, src:fenics-dolfinx, which we co-mantain. It's quite clear IMHO that this is an issue with the MPI libraries rather than with the end user ones. Finally, I can't seem to remember how the "Issues preventing migration" part is being automatically generated by britney, but it looks very odd in https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/openmpi . For instance: dolfin, fenics-dolfinx and scifem are being tested with autopkgtest, but e.g. PETSc and mpi4py (which also rely on the MPI libraries, and which are runtime dependencies of each of the three packages mentioned above) are not being tested at all. This means if there was an issue in PETSc, it would only be discovered through e.g. dolfin, and one may not even realize at first glance that the issue is not in dolfin but in PETSc. The list reported in https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/mpich is much more complete. Thanks, Francesco
