Hi,

h5py FTBFS against hdf5-1.10 with:
======================================================================
ERROR: test_force_swmr_mode_off_raises (h5py.tests.hl.test_dataset_swmr.TestDatasetSwmrRead)
Switching SWMR write mode off is only possible by closing the file.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "h5py/tests/hl/test_dataset_swmr.py", line 58, in setUp
    self.f = h5py.File(fname, 'r', swmr=True)
  File "h5py/_hl/files.py", line 272, in __init__
    fid = make_fid(name, mode, userblock_size, fapl, swmr=swmr)
  File "h5py/_hl/files.py", line 91, in make_fid
    flags |= h5f.ACC_SWMR_READ
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ACC_SWMR_READ'
...
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 423 tests in 1.568s

FAILED (errors=9, skipped=10, expected failures=7)

Previously in the buildlog there is:
********************************************************************************
                       Summary of the h5py configuration

    Path to HDF5: None
    HDF5 Version: '1.8.4'
     MPI Enabled: False
Rebuild Required: False

********************************************************************************

Then I tried with HDF5_DIR=/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/hdf5/serial and this time the build was successful.

Thanks,

_g.
