Looks like this was fixed in petsc upstream commit 3307d110e72ee4e6d2468971620073eb5ff93529 that hasn't been released yet. Upstream latest tag is v3.17.1. petsc is 3.16.6 in Ubuntu and Debian has 3.17.0+dfsg1-1exp1 in experimental.

This looks like version skew to me; the failed petsc build on riscv64
was against libscotch-dev 7.0.1-2, while the successful builds on the
other architectures were against libscotch-dev 6.1.3-1. As you
noticed, petsc FTBFS on amd64 (and everywhere else) right now, I
believe this is due to the hypre/scalapack/scotch/petsc/slepc
transitions being entangled.  I have done a bunch of no-change
rebuilds for these, and hopefully petsc will be able to build later
today.
