Bug#568237: mpich2: Missing mpiexec alternative

[Torquil Macdonald Sørensen]

Package: mpich2
Version: 1.2.1-2
Severity: normal

I have just installed the mpich2 package, and checked the file
/usr/share/doc/mpich2/README.Debian. There is says that I can check
which mpiexec I'm using by the command:

update-alternatives --list mpiexec

However, the result is:
update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for mpiexec.

I think all the related files are installed:
tmac at tmac alternatives$ ls -l /usr/bin/mpiexec
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Feb  3 12:13 /usr/bin/mpiexec -> /etc/alternatives/mpiexec
tmac at tmac alternatives$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/mpiexec
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Feb  3 12:13 /etc/alternatives/mpiexec -> /usr/bin/mpiexec.mpich2
tmac at tmac alternatives$ ls -l /usr/bin/mpiexec.mpich2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Feb  3 12:13 /usr/bin/mpiexec.mpich2 -> ../share/mpich2/mpiexec.py
tmac at tmac alternatives$ ls -l /usr/share/mpich2/mpiexec.py
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 60173 Nov 29 13:56 /usr/share/mpich2/mpiexec.py
