[bug#56257] [PATCH] fenics: Do not use mpirun for tests

["Ludovic Courtès" <ludovic.courtes@inria.fr>]

Hi,

<Ontje.Luensdorf@dlr.de> skribis:

Good question.  Paul, do you remember the reasons for doing so?

Let’s see what Paul thinks, and otherwise I’ll apply the patch shortly
so fenics can be installed again.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
