I recall this seeing this message in other packages in debian-science and debichem. An alternate solution would be to add the following line near the beginning of debian/tests/run-unit-test: export OMPI_MCA_plm_rsh_agent=/bin/false I believe that ssh is only required when MPI processes execute on different hosts. It should not be required when the MPI processes all execute on the same host, like a buildd or a CI tester. codesearch.debian.net has many examples: https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=path%3Adebian%2F*+OMPI_MCA_plm_rsh_agent and more specifically for autopkgtests: https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=path%3Adebian%2Ftests%2F*+OMPI_MCA_plm_rsh_agent Regards Graham
