Bug#748130: on wheezy/amd64: libscotch-5.1 depends on mpich while mpi-default is openmpi

[Pierre Saramito]

Package: libscotch-5.1
Version: 5.1.12b.dfsg-2+b1
Severity: serious

Hi all,

The stable (wheezy) debian package "libscotch-5.1" depends on MPI lib as :

          dep: libmpich2-3       [amd64, mips, mipsel, s390, s390x]
          dep: libopenmpi1.3 [not amd64, mips, mipsel, s390, s390x]

while the "mpi-default-bin" package has the following dependencies :

          dep: mpich2                   [mips, mipsel, s390, s390x]
          dep: openmpi-bin          [not mips, mipsel, s390, s390x]

The same bug occurs for all MPI-dependent packages from the "scotch" source package.
Thus, on amd64, the scotch library is not usable:
package depending on scotch will compile but segfault at run time.

A possible solution should be to recompile the wheezy/amd64 scotch package.
