I've just set up a fresh install of Kubuntu Hardy with FEniCS software
on my new home laptop.

Good news:
- A minimal dolfin build only requires dependencies from apt in Ubuntu Hardy.

Bad news:
- The petsc version installed by apt isn't seen by scons.
- I got a lot of errors (crashes) when running the tests. These seem
related to MPI.

Good news:
- Compiling dolfin with "enableMpi=no" resulted in tests passing.

Is there a reason to build with mpi when PETSc and Scotch are missing?
Maybe the build system could disable mpi based on some criteria?
