Bug#605962: gmsh should depend on mpi-default-bin

[LUK ShunTim]

Package: gmsh
Version: 2.5.0.dfsg-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

While running gmsh recently on my laptop, I noticed that it now requires MPI. The following MPI error message show a slight packing glitch.

<error>
$ gmsh --version
[t43:08798] [[INVALID],INVALID] ORTE_ERROR_LOG: A system-required executable either could not be found or was not executable by this user in file ../../../../../../orte/mca/ess/singleton/ess_singleton_module.c at line 269

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
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_set_name failed
  --> Returned value A system-required executable either could not be found or was not executable by this user (-127) instead of ORTE_SUCCESS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

*** The MPI_Init() function was called before MPI_INIT was invoked.
*** This is disallowed by the MPI standard.
*** Your MPI job will now abort.
[t43:8798] Abort before MPI_INIT completed successfully; not able to guarantee that all other processes were killed!
</error> 

Installing mpi-default-bin which gmsh recommends fixed the problem.
