Package: libmpich-dev
Version: 3.3~a3-1
Severity: serious

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'testing'.
It installed fine in 'testing', then the upgrade to 'sid' fails.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Setting up libmpich-dev (3.3~a3-1) ...
  update-alternatives: error: alternative mpicc can't be slave of mpi-x86_64-linux-gnu: it is a slave of mpi
  dpkg: error processing package libmpich-dev (--configure):
   installed libmpich-dev package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 2
  Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.26-4) ...
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   libmpich-dev


cheers,

Andreas
