Something is pretty broken, as it turns out the mothur-mpi package is useless. If in doubt I prefer to err on the RC side since this has a better chance of someone actually looking at the bug. 2. "apt-get install mothur-dbgsym mothur-mpi-dbgsym" results in an error from dpkg, the lintian warning for that is how I actually found this bug. > Kind regards > > Andreas. cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"

Very good catch! Thanks for this. In fact the MPI code was removed 2015-08-19 so we ship the non-functional MPI uselessly since about three years. :-( I'm about to build a fixed package (just droping mothur-mpi). There is no need to fiddle around with severities since it will be fixed soon. I just would like to know your motivation to file the bug as serious since I would have done with normal in this case since I can not really see what is broken. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de

Bug#908786: mothur-mpi contains the same binary as mothur
Package: mothur-mpi Version: 1.40.5-1 Severity: serious $ sha256sum /usr/bin/mothur* 316ea8bcabce032371788425c98c5da62a353de20a1b6174582cad5a49a06153 /usr/bin/mothur 316ea8bcabce032371788425c98c5da62a353de20a1b6174582cad5a49a06153 /usr/bin/mothur-mpi $ USEMPI seems to be no longer an upstream option, so both builds produce the same binary.
