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.
