Release policy is one of the main differences between Debian and Ubuntu. Ubuntu makes time-based releases, so packages automatically enter the release in the state they're found at that time, leading to the kind of problem we have here.
By contrast, Debian tags bugs like this as RC (release critical), so the Debian stable release is not made until the RC bugs have been fixed, or a deliberate decision is made to accept the package including the bug, or else it gets kicked out of the release. Selected packages in Ubuntu get more direct attention, but mpich is not one of them, partly because it is not the default MPI implementation. You can see that this bug has an "Importance" field, but it can only be activated by Ubuntu developers (and hasn't been activated). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2072338 Title: incorrect PMI configuration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mpich/+bug/2072338/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
