It seems to be the result of a leftover "mpicc" alternatives group, though I couldn't identify which package was originally responsible for it - none of the current packages use it.
"update-alternatives --remove-all mpicc" plus a fresh configuration pass fixed it locally; putting something like that in the postinst(s) immediately before the "--install mpi" call might be all that's needed. -- Nicholas Breen [email protected] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
