Bug#703729: libhypre-dev: bundled header fei_defs.h prevents orginal software from being packaged

[Nico Schlömer]

Package: libhypre-dev
Version: 2.8.0b-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

I'm currently packaging the Trilinos numerical solver package and just bumped
into a filename conflict with the package libhypre-dev about the file
fei_defs.h. Apparently, Hypre (upstream) just copied this file over from
Trilinos some years ago and ships it as part of Hypre.

See <https://github.com/nschloe/trilinos/blob/master/packages/fei/base/fei_defs.h>
for the file in Trilinos.

I'm not sure about the licensing implications here, but it for certain creates
a problem on the package managing side.
