@jrohwer

When building PETSc (more specifically, petsc4py), one test (ex100 from ksp) will fail if a previous (major) version is installed. I could not figure out why this happens. The solution would be to build in a clean root (which is a little bit complicated due to dependency on other AUR packages) or simply uninstall the old version before.

Any help to solve this issue is welcomed.

@lahwaacz: I'm just trying to understand what's going on and find a solution, not workarounds. If ssh is a dependency for openmpi, it has to be solved in the respective package. If all PETSc applications require it, it is a dependency. But checkdepends seems to be a quick fix that should not be in the official PKGBUILD

@MartinDiehl petsc currently can't be built in a clean chroot without openssh in checkdepends. The solution for more problems is more workarounds, not delaying previous workarounds.

@lahwaacz and @carlosal1015: I think then it makes sense to apply the same fix as for MUMPS.

However, it seems that ssh is not the problem the only problem. At least on my setup, I cannot run MPI applications if WiFi and ethernet is disabled. I understand that MPI is meant to work over network, but it would be nice if one could use the same executable on a machine without ssh and a network connection.

@MartinDiehl The openssh problem is reported in https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/75535 but carlosal1015's comment was about adding it to checkdepends, not depends. FWIW it's the same problem that you've recently fixed in https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=mumps&id=05532ed6645296c32c6e9c247024959aa4715bcc

@carlosal1015: I don't think that PETSc has a dependency on openssh. Maybe openMPI has (there are some ongoing discussions).

I suggest add openssh as checkdependency.

I'm getting a different error (also during check). It compiles okay but fails during testing.

@fsimonis I tried to add it, but for me it gives

The option -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE should probably be -Wp,-D-FORTIFY-SOURCE

Could you see if the same happens if you add --CFLAGS=${CFLAGS} to configure.
