The issue here is that openmpi and openmpi-dev have files that install
in the same directory but only differ by case, e.g. 'mpiCC' vs.
'mpicc'. On a case-insensitive filesystem these look the same.
I _think_ you may be able to work around this by using
sudo dpkg -r openmpi openmpi-dev
fink install openmpi
sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite
/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-i386/devel/openmpi-dev_1.3.2-1002_darwin-i386.deb
.
I'm not sure why the upstream developers insist on this behavior, but
it's something that needs to be properly addressed within the Fink
packaging.
