[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#591346: Allow the installation of libhdf5-serial and libhdf5-openmpi at the same time

[Sylvestre Ledru]

Package: hdf5
Severity: important

Hello,

More and more packages are using hdf5 packages.
Some of them (for example, Code Saturne) are using hdf5 mpi by default while
others, like Scilab, needs the serial one.

This is causing also some issues at build time. See bug #591164.

To reproduce it:
aptitude install libhdf5-openmpi-1.8.4 libhdf5-serial-1.8.4

By the way, if the ABI are compatible, #586149 might be the solution.

Thanks for considering this. 

If you need help on this, don't hesitate to ask.
Sylvestre
