Please check that all the packages depending on hdf5-1.10 correctly
build with 1.12.0, for example: freecad, libmedfile, etc.

And also hdf5-parallel-openmpi which inherits from, so packages
depending on that too.

Therefore, instead it could be simpler to add a new variable hdf5-1.12
and use it as default with the variable hdf5.

All the best,
simon
