Package: libopenmpi-dev Version: 4.0.2-2 Severity: normal While testing the newly upgraded Open MPI 4.0.2-2 packages in Sid I found that builds with mpicc etc. will be expecting libevent.so and libevent_pthreads.so, which are provided by libevent-dev.
Starting with 4.0.x, shouldn't libopenmpi-dev depend on or at least recommend libevent-dev? -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.3.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages libopenmpi-dev depends on: ii gfortran [gfortran-mod-15] 4:9.2.1-3.1 ii gfortran-9 [gfortran-mod-15] 9.2.1-19 ii libhwloc-dev 1.11.13-1 ii libibverbs-dev 26.0-2 ii libopenmpi3 4.0.2-2 ii openmpi-bin 4.0.2-2 ii openmpi-common 4.0.2-2 Versions of packages libopenmpi-dev recommends: ii libcoarrays-openmpi-dev 2.8.0-1 Versions of packages libopenmpi-dev suggests: pn openmpi-doc <none> -- no debconf information
