Description Alexei Podtelezhnikov 2009-03-14 14:10:12 UTC

Just released mpich2-1.0.8-3 does not own some of its files. Here you go:

[user@home ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/mpi*
file /usr/bin/mpicc is not owned by any package
mpich2-1.0.8-3.fc10.x86_64
file /usr/bin/mpicxx is not owned by any package
file /usr/bin/mpiexec is not owned by any package
mpich2-1.0.8-3.fc10.x86_64
file /usr/bin/mpif77 is not owned by any package
file /usr/bin/mpif90 is not owned by any package
file /usr/bin/mpirun is not owned by any package
mpich2-1.0.8-3.fc10.x86_64

These are the only links to executables not owned by a package in my /usr/bin. It is definitely not right. This directory is also orphaned:

[user@home ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/share/mpich2/bin64
file /usr/share/mpich2/bin64 is not owned by any package

Here is more but no one owns anything in /etc/alternatives/, so this may be okay:

[user@home ~]$ rpm -qf /etc/alternatives/mpi*
file /etc/alternatives/mpicc is not owned by any package
file /etc/alternatives/mpicc-man is not owned by any package
file /etc/alternatives/mpic++-man is not owned by any package
file /etc/alternatives/mpicxx is not owned by any package
file /etc/alternatives/mpi-exec is not owned by any package
file /etc/alternatives/mpi-exec-man is not owned by any package
file /etc/alternatives/mpif77 is not owned by any package
file /etc/alternatives/mpif77-man is not owned by any package
file /etc/alternatives/mpif90 is not owned by any package
file /etc/alternatives/mpif90-man is not owned by any package
file /etc/alternatives/mpi-run is not owned by any package

At the end this is probably why this looks so strange:

[user@home ~]$ rpm -q --whatprovides gcc mpicc
gcc-4.3.2-7.x86_64
no package provides mpicc

These and the /etc/alternatives/mpi* are files (links) created by the alternatives systems, and thus are really not rightfully owned by the mpich2 package(s).

Will be fixed in mpich2-1.0.8-4.fc10

Actually its not so strange ;), the package is mpich2, not mpicc.

Thanks for the report.
