Comment 4 for bug 700036

Could somebody please change the openmpi-bin package dependency on openmpi-checkpoint from "recommends" to "suggests", to stop the flood of duplicates? This is what most commonly pulls blcr-dkms, which is non functional since kernel 2.6.35 and its failing to build causes an error to show up on every attempt to rebuild the dkms modules, which users tend to eventually report. There's about 0.95 reports a day on average (116 duplicates between 18 November and 21 April).

libmpich2-2 also pulls it in via its "depends" on libcr0 - I think this is a mistake, it should be a "recommends" at most, but preferably a "suggests", like for OpenMPI. Neither MPI library needs blcr to work.

NB, "sudo apt-get remove blcr-dkms" will stop the error showing up.
