Subject: libhdf5-openmpi-dev lacks /usr/bin/{h5pcc,h5pfc} Package: libhdf5-openmpi-dev Version: 1.8.4-patch1-2ubuntu4 Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line *** None of the parallel HDF5 development packages, nor their prerequisite packages, installs the expected compiler wrappers /usr/bin/h5pcc and /usr/bin/h5pfc. The h5pcc and h5pfc wrappers are, however, installed when building parallel HDF5 from the source. libhd5-openmpi-dev is one such example but I believe the bug exists for all packages matching libhdf5-*mpi*-dev. If not fixed, users installing the parallel HDF5 development packages cannot use them to compile source code without some error-prone workarounds. This problem is related to, but not fixed, by http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=629157. In a similar vein, one could add a package called "hdf5-helpers-mpi" containing /usr/bin/h5pcc and /usr/bin/h5pfc and then have it be a mandatory prereq for libhdf5-*mpi*-dev. Another approach would be to have libhdf5-*mpi*-dev directly install /usr/bin/h5pcc and /usr/bin/h5pfc.
