Ubuntu
netcdf-parallel package

bad includedir in netcdf-mpi.pc

Asked by Lionel GUEZ

Hi. In the package libnetcdf-mpi-dev, in jammy, of architecture amd64, in the installed file:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/netcdf-mpi.pc

I think the line:

includedir=/usr/include

is not correct. It should be:

includedir=${prefix}/include

(which evaluates to a different path).

Is this a problem with the Ubuntu package or should I report this to the NetCDF developers?

The version number of this software package in Ubuntu jammy is "1:4.8.1-2" and does not contain the string "ubuntu". This indicates that the package was copied from Debian without any Ubuntu-specific modification.

A quick search indicates that this problem is also visible on Debian, and there is already a bug report for a similar problem with another config file of that package https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=977545

I have not verified whether that is inherited from upstreaam, or if that is an error in Debian.

I suggest that you comment in that already-existing Debian bug report.
You may also create a bug report in Ubuntu, even if Ubuntu has only inherited that problem.

Thank you. I have submitted the problem to Debian (bug 1036168).
