[Pkg-openmpi-maintainers] Bug#847806: libopenmpi2: broken SONAME links

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: libopenmpi2
Version: 2.0.1-7
Severity: serious
Tags: patch

Hi,

there is another error in the SONAME links, causing
/usr/lib/libmpi_java.so.20 to be missing after package installation
and creating /usr/lib/libompitrace.so.0 instead of libompitrace.so.20

I'm thinking about a solution how this conditional installation and
linking stuff could be simplified, dh-exec might be a solution. Would
you interested in that?

Is it neccessary to have both the file link (libompifoo.so.20.1.2.3.4.5)
and the soname link (libompifoo.so.20) in /usr/lib? Wouldn't the soname
link be sufficient in /usr/lib? (and then have another soname->file link
in /usr/lib/openmpi/lib instead?)

What are the plans regarding 2.0.2? Do you expect that version to reach
stretch in time? Or will it be be delayed to stretch+1?
