In #6808 I added the scalapack package to the tester docker image, because it is needed in #6615. However, I didnt test if it was recognized and activated during deal.II configuration, which it turns out it was not. I encountered a problem with the candi install of scalapack that I will describe a separate issue for candi. Thankfully, for our applications here we may as well just use the apt package of scalapack which works (I checked).

To be consistent I added it to all our docker images.

Could we instead figure out whether SCALAPACK is really necessary? This is such an old-fashioned package that I'd much rather not use it.

Absolutely, if we can avoid linking to another package I am all for it.

Since #6615 now works without scalapack, this is no longer needed. I will close the PR.
