Bug#830739: mpi-testsuite: FTBFS on non-Linux: 'override_dh_auto_configure' failed

[Aaron M. Ucko]

Source: mpi-testsuite
Version: 3.2+dfsg-1
Severity: important
Justification: fails to build from source

Builds of mpi-testsuite on kFreeBSD and the Hurd have been failing:

  config.status: executing default-4 commands
  for i in `find . -name "testlist" | grep -v ^..build`; 		\
  do								\
    if [ ! -e build-openmpi/$i ];				\
    then								\
      ln -s `pwd`/$i `pwd`/build-openmpi/$i;			\
    fi;								\
  done
  ln: failed to create symbolic link '/«BUILDDIR»/mpi-testsuite-3.2+dfsg/build-openmpi/./.pc/disable_large_tests.patch/group/testlist': No such file or directory
  debian/rules:14: recipe for target 'override_dh_auto_configure' failed

The error from ln also appears on Linux, so it's probably a red
herring; it's not clear from the log what the actual problem is.

Could you please take a look?

Thanks!
