Hi Helmut, can you give more information on where you find the file
conflict?

/usr/bin/nwchem is a symlink to the build for the default MPI for the
given architecture.

On 64-bit systems openmpi is default, so /usr/bin/nwchem is provided
by the nwchem-openmpi package and not provided by the nwchem-mpich
package.

Have you found a case where nwchem-mpich also provides /usr/bin/nwchem ?
(apart from the 32-bit arches, for which nwchem-openmpi should not be
providing /usr/bin/nwchem)

/usr/bin/nwchem is not actually provided by both nwchem-openmpi and
nwchem-mpich on a normal installation, so downgrading severity.
