[Debian-med-packaging] openmpi/3.1.1.real-3 breaks 10 autopkgtests in a similar fashion: bug?

[Paul Gevers]

Dear maintainers,

With a recent upload of openmpi the autopkgtest of
dune-grid
esys-particle
examl
gerris
gmsh
lammps
liggghts
mrbayes
phyml
ray
started to fail in testing. See:
https://qa.debian.org/excuses.php?package=openmpi and links therein.

Without knowing openmpi, it appears that all these failing cases have
the same error (example from dune-grid below). Maybe it would be useful
if there is communication between the maintainers of the packages
involved on how to fix/improve this situation.

Currently this regression is delaying the migration to testing by 10
days. It seems to me that the maintainers of the reverse depends would
want to file a bug (one!) to prevent migration if the solution isn't
clear by the end of the current age period.

More information about this email and the reason of it can be found on

It looks like orte_init failed for some reason; your parallel process is
likely to abort.  There are many reasons that a parallel process can
fail during orte_init; some of which are due to configuration or
environment problems.  This failure appears to be an internal failure;
here's some additional information (which may only be relevant to an
Open MPI developer):

  getting local rank failed
  --> Returned value No permission (-17) instead of ORTE_SUCCESS
