• Bug#1089694: mpich: autopkgtest regression

    It seems the BTS considers that 4.3.0-2 will re-introduce this bug to
    testing because the changelog entry for 4.2.1-4 above was dropped from debian/changelog.

    As far as I can see, the BTS is correct: there are changes from 4.2.1-4
    and 4.2.1-5 listed in <https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/mpich/-/commits/debian%2Ftrixie?ref_type=heads>
    that are not present in <https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/mpich/-/commits/debian%2Flatest?ref_type=heads>,
    and were therefore lost when 4.3.0 was re-uploaded from experimental
    into unstable shortly before the toolchain freeze. Can debian/trixie be
    merged into debian/latest to reinstate those changes?

    (It also seems misleading that there is a debian/trixie branch but it
    does not correspond to either the version in trixie, or the version that
    is waiting to migrate into trixie.)

    It looks to me as though #1088919 may have been essentially the same
    issue as #1102928, but in the other branch. Fixing at least mpi-c.pc
    would likely allow valgrind to be built successfully on 32-bit (#1103970)
    which in turn would allow the unrelated RC bug fix #1057621 to migrate
    to testing.
