[Pkg-openmpi-maintainers] Bug#445230: Bug#445230: Bug#445230: libopenmpi-dev 1.2.4-2 compiler wrappers don't work

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

Andreas' bug was 

> akabel at desktop:~$ mpicc.openmpi
> Cannot open configuration file
> /usr/share/openmpi/mpicc.openmpi-wrapper-data.txt
> Error parsing data file mpicc.openmpi: Not found

and I was thinking that it is _not_ that 
	/usr/share/openmpi/mpicc.openmpi-wrapper-data.txt
_is missing_ but rather that mpicc was invoked under a name that upstream
doesn't expect. I.e.

edd at ron:~> dpkg -S /usr/share/openmpi/mpicc-wrapper-data.txt
openmpi-common: /usr/share/openmpi/mpicc-wrapper-data.txt
edd at ron:~> mpicc.openmpi
gcc: no input files
edd at ron:~> mpicc
gcc: no input files
edd at ron:~> ls -l /usr/bin/mpicc /etc/alternatives/mpicc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2007-08-01 14:32 /etc/alternatives/mpicc -> /usr/bin/mpicc.openmpi
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2007-07-30 21:50 /usr/bin/mpicc -> /etc/alternatives/mpicc
edd at ron:~> 

In other words, it works for me for mpicc -- under both names!  Manuel, you
said that you replicated Andreas' finding.  What version was that?  (My home
system is still 1.2.3-2 as on testing, so whatever we may have broken in the
1.2.3-{3,4} versions doesn't bite me).

Can we just make the symlinks work for 1.2.3-4 ?

Dirk, confused
