Bug#631589: python-dolfin: python -c "import dolfin" fails with MPI error

[LUK ShunTim]

Package: python-dolfin
Version: 0.9.11-1+b1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

Here's a transcript.

$ python -c "import dolfin"
*** The MPI_comm_size() function was called before MPI_INIT was invoked.
*** This is disallowed by the MPI standard.
*** Your MPI job will now abort.

Same error as reported in
https://answers.launchpad.net/dolfin/+question/152620
which was fixed in ubuntu ppa.

Please upload a fixed package for debian as well.

Regards,
ST
