Source: getdp
Version: 2.4.2-1+b1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

getdp is currently uninstallable on amd64:

$ apt-get install getdp
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 getdp : Depends: libscalapack-mpi1 (>= 1.8.0) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

If I try to install libscalapack-mpi1, I get:

$ apt-get install libscalapack-mpi1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package libscalapack-mpi1 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  libscalapack-openmpi1:i386 libscalapack-openmpi1

E: Package 'libscalapack-mpi1' has no installation candidate
