it seems that you might be missing the apt ppa for wherever that package is coming from. Doing a quick google search i couldn't find it.
Download the package from this url:
http://beopen.bplaced.net/2018/01/open-mpi-3-0-1rc2/
unpacking it (it's a gzip) and following the instructions in the included INSTALL file.

I would comment but it won't let me since I am fairly new to this community. Have you tried the following instructions?
The command you would be looking for is:
sudo apt-get install openmpi-bin openmpi-common openssh-client openssh-server libopenmpi1.3 libopenmpi-dbg libopenmpi-dev
Though this will install the current version which is v3.0. It seems you are trying to install a prerelease which might not be available through apt-get as suggested by @tranfuria.

No need to comment: that's and answer and you have your first upvote! :-) – Fabby Jan 30 '18 at 20:22
apt-cache search openmpi
then pick up the proper one by definition. In your case it might besudo apt-get install openmpi-bin
