Package: libhdf5-mpich-dev Version: 1.10.6+repack-4 Severity: serious Tags: patch User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piupartsDuring an piuparts upgrade test of libhdf5-mpich-dev on the upgrade path squeeze -> wheezy -> jessie -> stretch -> buster -> bullseye I observed this failure: Setting up libhdf5-mpich-dev (1.10.6+repack-4) ... update-alternatives: priority must be an integer Use 'update-alternatives --help' for program usage information. dpkg: error processing package libhdf5-mpich-dev (--configure): installed libhdf5-mpich-dev package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 2 At the time of the failure the libmpich1.0-dev package which Provides: libmpich-dev was still installed, but that uses an ancient mpi alternative scheme the postinst cannot parse. Making the libmpich-dev versioned (buster shipped with 3.3-3 which uses the new alternatives scheme) ensures that libmpich-dev gets upgraded (or rather installed, kicking out the ancient libmpich1.0-dev from squeeze). This fix needs to get backported to bullseye-pu. This needs an update of mpich as well, since there is an unhandled file conflict between libmpich1.0-dev and mpich, #992065. I've verified that using the two updated packages fixes the problematic upgrade path. Andreas PS: it took me quite some time to understand what was going on here so the fix wasn't ready before the bullseye deadline.
Thank you Andreas. I'll prepare an upload asap. Best, _g.
