[Bug 1881132] [NEW] libopenmpi-dev requires reinstall after upgrade to 20.04

[Andreas Aigner]

Public bug reported:

After the upgrade from 19.10 to 20.04:

The problem was that CMake could not find OpemMPI, although it was
installed.

Solution:

I had to reinstall libopenmpi-dev with

    $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall openmpi-common openmpi-bin
libopenmpi3 libopenmpi-dev

and got following message:

    Setting up libopenmpi-dev:amd64 (4.0.3-0ubuntu1) ...
    update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/openmpi/include because link group mpi-x86_64-linux-gnu is broken

After that everything works as intended and CMake finds MPI. (with
find_package(MPI))

Since a colleague of mine had the same problem, I assume that this is
bug.
