Package: libcoarrays-openmpi-dev
Version: 2.10.3-2+b1
Severity: important

Dear maintainer,

During a regular upgrade, I found that libcoarrays-openmpi-dev failed to
configure:

Setting up libcoarrays-openmpi-dev:amd64 (2.10.3-2+b1)…
update-alternatives: error: alternative path /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/open-coarrays/openmpi/bin/caf does not exist
dpkg: error processing package libcoarrays-openmpi-dev:amd64 (--configure):
 old libcoarrays-openmpi-dev:amd64 package postinst maintainer script subprocess failed with exit status 2

Thanks for you work, regards.

Florent
