  • Bug#1102731: nwchem-mpich and nwchem-openmpi have an undeclared file co

    From Helmut Grohne@21:1/5 to All on Sat Apr 12 13:50:03 2025
    Package: nwchem-mpich,nwchem-openmpi
    Version: 7.2.3-7+b1
    Severity: serious
    User: debian-qa@lists.debian.org
    Usertags: fileconflict

    nwchem-mpich and nwchem-openmpi have an undeclared file conflict. This
    may result in an unpack error from dpkg.

    The file /usr/bin/nwchem is contained in the packages
    * nwchem-mpich/7.2.3-7+b1 as present in trixie|unstable
    * nwchem-openmpi/7.2.3-7+b1 as present in trixie|unstable

    These packages can be unpacked concurrently, because there is no
    relevant Replaces or Conflicts relation. Attempting to unpack these
    packages concurrently results in an unpack error from dpkg, because none
    of the packages installs a diversion for the affected file.

    Kind regards

    Helmut

    Hi Helmut, can you give more information on where you find the file
    conflict?

    /usr/bin/nwchem is a symlink to the build for the default MPI for the
    given architecture.

    On 64-bit systems openmpi is default, so /usr/bin/nwchem is provided
    by the nwchem-openmpi package and not provided by the nwchem-mpich
    package.

    Have you found a case where nwchem-mpich also provides /usr/bin/nwchem ?
    (apart from the 32-bit arches, for which nwchem-openmpi should not be
    providing /usr/bin/nwchem)

    /usr/bin/nwchem is not actually provided by both nwchem-openmpi and nwchem-mpich on a normal installation, so downgrading severity.
