[Impact] 
 * This bug affects the users because the users expect to get libmpich.so.1.2 when installing the package libmpich12.
* As the bug occurs only on ubuntu 18.04 it makes binaries that are compiled with the lib provided by the defective package incompatible with other ubuntu versions using the same package.


[Test Case]

* To reproduce the bug install libmpich12 on Ubuntu 18.04
* Then you can check the version of the libmpich that has been installed:
objdump -p /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmpich.so | grep SONAME
You should expect the following output:
SONAME               libmpich.so.0

** Affects: mpich (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Fix Released
