Check for 'petsc-pkg-metis' is correct - when the dir is 'petsc-pkg-metis-0adf3ea7785d'.

Looks like this issue was introduced in : v3.7.6 - and fixed in v3.7.7

Generally one should use the latest patch release traball for any given (major/minor) release.

i.e petsc-3.7.7.tar.gz for petsc-3.7 release.
