Playing with apt-file and grep it seems that MPI_Comm_set_name.3.gz is the only file causing problem :

$ apt-file show bla > /tmp/bla with bla={mpi-doc,lam4-dev} $ for i in `grep man /tmp/mpi-doc | cut -d'/' -f 5`; do echo -n "$i : "; grep -c $i /tmp/lam4-dev_man;done | grep ": 1"

Thanks for resurrecting that old bug of mine.
