Package: openmpi-bin
Version: 5.0.10-1
Severity: important

mpirun gives a warning to stderr when trying to report help information:

 mpirun --version
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry!  You were supposed to get help about:
    version
But I couldn't open the help file:
    /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pmix2/share/pmix/help-schizo-ompi.txt: No such file or directory
    /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/prrte3/share/prte/help-schizo-ompi.txt: No such file or directory.
Sorry!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looks like help files for pmix and prte are missing.
