Public bug reported: Package: openmpi-common 5.0.10-1 on Ubuntu 26.04 for amd64
Operating system/version: Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (in a Docker container running on an Ubuntu 24.04 host machine, kernel: Linux 877b66012d5c 6.17.0-23-generic # 23~24.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Apr 14 16:11:48 UTC 2 x86_64 GNU/Linux) Computer hardware: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X Issue: invoking "mpiexec --help" or "mpiexec --version" (from package openmpi-bin) raises errors instead of printing the help page or the version number due to missing files in package openmpi-common. In particular, files /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/prrte3/share/prte/help- schizo-ompi.txt and /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/prrte3/share/prte/help- prun.txt were available in package openmpi-common until 25.10, but were removed in 26.04. They are still available under a different path from package libprrte-dev, but this path is not traversed by mpiexec/mpirun from package openmpi-bin, and therefore these executable are returning an error when invoked in a way that requires read access to these files. What I expected to happen: $ mpiexec --help mpiexec (Open MPI) 5.0.10 Usage: mpiexec [OPTION]... See the mpirun(1) man page or HTML help for a detailed list of command line options that are available.
