[Pkg-openmpi-maintainers] Ugly error messages when using openmpi

[Ondrej Certik]

Hi,

I created a new python-petsc4py package, available here:

http://debian.certik.cz/

It's depending on a new versin of petsc also available there and
openmpi. See that link for all instructions how to use the archive.

$ apt-get install python-petsc4py
$ python
Python 2.4.4 (#2, Aug 16 2007, 02:03:40)
[GCC 4.1.3 20070812 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-15)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from petsc4py.PETSc import Mat

Another transport will be used instead, although this may result in
lower performance.

The petsc4py seems to work, but those error messages are weird. Either
there should be nothing printed out if it works, or it should fail.
But if it works (as it seems so) and it still prints those errors,
that's I think unfortunate.

I am currently investigating, if the problem is in petsc,
python-petsc4py or openmpi, but I suspect openmpi. Did you ever see
these errors before? What to do about it?
When those issues are resolved, the new package will be uploaded in unstable.
