Hi Stephen, mshr is another fenics component alongside dolfin. It's
not required for general dolfin usage, though of course your tutorial
example uses it.

The ftp-masters have blocked mshr from the archives since it uses a
local copy of CGAL, rather than the system CGAL, see
https://bugs.debian.org/824716
We're working with upsteam to enable a build with the system CGAL.

In the meantime the repo is
https://anonscm.debian.org/git/debian-science/packages/fenics/mshr.git/

Please build a local package from that.

Cheers,
Drew
