[Bug 531973] Re: [UNMETDEPS] libboost-mpi-dev has unmet dependencies in Lucid
The fix proposed by Fabrice at #5 deletes the Boost MPI material from the distribution, which has to be the wrong solution to the problem. The correct solution is surely to add the missing packages and correct the dependency in the specification? Ubuntu 10.10 should include a full Boost 1.43 or 1.44 if that comes out with good time for testing. I appreciate Debian only has 1.42 just now but if Ubuntu only moved up to that it would be better than the current 1.40/1.41 situation. -- [UNMETDEPS] libboost-mpi-dev has unmet dependencies in Lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/531973 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Russel, My patch only delete packages in boost-defaults that will always be impossible to install, as the mpi packages in boost1.40 or boost1.42 has been dropped, as stated in the changelog: boost1.40 (1.40.0-4ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low * Merge from debian testing.

In the actual state, my patch is a good solution: it fixes FTBFS with packages that depends on libboost1.40-all-dev.

[Bug 531973] Re: [UNMETDEPS] libboost-mpi-dev has unmet dependencies in Lucid
Fabrice, Hummm... I guess I am totally confused and talking from a weak position of deep ignorance of the overall packaging. I can happily see that the MPI stuff should not be in the default set of Boost things drawn in: Boost MPI is a specialist thing and so should be individually brought in on an as need basis. However what I thought I saw and reported was that there is an inconsistency with the packages libboost*mpi*, i.e. the packages that are specifically labelled as MPI related, in Ubuntu. From what I can see libboost-mpi-dev is in Debian Sid and points to libboost-mpi1.42-dev. It may be that this is just miscommunication and there is no conflict. Lucid I guess is now history and cannot be changed. Looking forward to Maverick, having libboost-mpi-dev must be considered essential referring to libboost-mpi1.42-dev or (preferably) later. -- [UNMETDEPS] libboost-mpi-dev has unmet dependencies in Lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/531973 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@Russel: Ubuntu has decided to drop the MPI related packages. That's why there is no libboost-mpi1.42-dev, and that's also why libboost-mpi-dev cannot be installed in Lucid (nor in Maverick). By the way, Squeeze will be released with boost 1.42. @casey: yes: sounds good.

[Bug 531973] Re: [UNMETDEPS] libboost-mpi-dev has unmet dependencies in Lucid
Fabrice, Ubuntu dropping MPI is a wrong decision (*) in today's increasingly multicore and parallel world. Even though Actor Model, Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) and Dataflow are far superior models for structuring parallel applications, and there are the new partitioned global address space (PGAS) languages Chapel, X10 and Fortress, the current de facto standard in the C, C++ and Fortran worlds is MPI and OpenMP. OpenMP is supported as standard in GCC and Boost.MPI is the de facto standard for C++ use of MPI. To drop MPI means that everyone currently using Ubuntu and MPI will have to switch to Debian. If switching from Ubuntu to Debian is what the Ubuntu decision makers want Ubuntu users to do, then this is a good contributing decision.

[Bug 531973] Re: [UNMETDEPS] libboost-mpi-dev has unmet dependencies in Lucid
Because of the way Boost packages are built, there is not a good way to build the MPI packages in Ubuntu without pulling all of the MPI stack into Main and no one is willing to do that. The default boost version has, AFAIK, never supported MPI for this reason. If someone can come up with a way to build the MPI and related boost binaries with the MPI build-dependencies in Universe, I'm willing to consider it (this would require a separate build as the default boost that's in main can't use them). -- [UNMETDEPS] libboost-mpi-dev has unmet dependencies in Lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/531973 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi, there is not MPI packages from boost1.42 nor boost1.40: the packages you're seeing are just wrappers from boost-default that don't contains anything: they depends on 'non-existing' boost1.42 mpi packages. As I said before, the mpi packages has been dropped in December from the main Boost packages. My debdiff only put in phase boost-defaults with boost1.42.
