Package: mpich
Version: 3.2-6build1
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
using the mpich package causes problems when used with valgrind, which is
described well in [1]. The problem is caused by the compile option
# BLCR checkpointing support
ifneq (,$(findstring $(DEB_HOST_ARCH),amd64 armel i386 powerpc))
extra_flags += --enable-checkpointing --with-hydra-ckpointlib=blcr
endif
which is also reported in [2]. If you look at the MPICH wiki [3], there is a
conversation, that led to dropping BCLR from MPICH altogether.
The valgrind problems makes the package unusable for developers who try to
check for memory errors via valgrind.
Regards,
Julian Andrej

"Only a promise," Lao Er said.
