I think this is dnf's fault. YUm didn't have the same problem, since
if multiple packages provided the necessary library, yum installed the
one with the shortest name, so out of scotch and scotch-mpich it'd
install scotch.

Yes, that's in the MPI guidelines. File bug reports on the packages.
How should
one deal with a scenario like
gmsh: requires mmg3d
mmg3d: requires scotch
gmsh-openmpi: requires mmg3d
mmg3d: requires scotch -> but in this case it is actually
ptscotch-openmpi which is desired, right?
Thanks,
