Bug#944769: python3-h5py fails to import if offline due to apparent MPI failure

[Jameson Graef Rollins]

severity 944769 serious
thanks

Bumping this back up to serious since it hasn't been addressed yet.
It's just not acceptable that this package is not usable when the host
is offline.  Hopefully we can see this addressed soon.  Thanks.

It looks like orte_init failed for some reason; your parallel process is
likely to abort.  There are many reasons that a parallel process can
fail during orte_init; some of which are due to configuration or
environment problems.  This failure appears to be an internal failure;
here's some additional information (which may only be relevant to an
Open MPI developer):

  orte_ess_init failed
  --> Returned value Unable to start a daemon on the local node (-127) instead of ORTE_SUCCESS
