Bug#927140: getdp compiled without support for gmsh

[boffi]

Package: getdp
Version: 3.0.4+dfsg1-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I was trying to familiarize with dpget, running the tutorials available
on https://gitlab.onelab.info/doc/tutorials but when I followed the
instructions contained, e.g., in the MagneticForces subdirectory

 >  To compute the solution in a terminal:
 >  First generate the (3D) mesh and then run getdp with the chosen resolution 
 >      gmsh magnets.geo -3
 >      getdp magnets.pro -solve MagSta_a

I had the following response

 >  $ getdp magnets.pro -solve MagSta_a
 >  Info    : Running 'getdp magnets.pro -solve MagSta_a' [GetDP 3.0.4-git, 1 node, max. 1 thread]

If I am correct assuming that in most cases one want to use getdp using
gmsh as its pre- and post-processor, the problem I'm reporting constitutes
a real breakage for most users.

P.S.: maybe getdp should, at least, recommend the gmsh package.
