Package: slurm-client Version: 14.03.9-5 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
All commands delivered in slurm-client package actually requires the SlurmUser (slurm in default configuration generator on Debian) to be present on the system: root@login:~# sinfo sinfo: error: Invalid user for SlurmUser slurm, ignored sinfo: fatal: Unable to process configuration file root@login:~# adduser --system slurm root@login:~# sinfo PARTITION AVAIL TIMELIMIT NODES STATE NODELIST normal* up infinite 3 down* cn[1-3] This is arguably an upstream bug since there is no point for Slurm commands to check for this user... But not sure it's easy to fix though. Currently, this user is created in postinst script of slurmd, slurmctld and slurmdbd packages. Since this user is required on all nodes in a slurm cluster, it would probably be more reliable to move user management within slurm-wlm-basic-plugins package because it is installed everywhere. This is specifically what is done in this patch I have successfully applied our local version of slurm packages: https://github.com/edf-hpc/slurm-llnl/commit/74c128212b788930292ea6309a5a0f6f948372cf -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages slurm-client depends on: ii libc6 2.19-18 ii libhwloc5 1.10.0-3 ii libncurses5 5.9+20140913-1+b1 ii libreadline6 6.3-8+b3 ii libtinfo5 5.9+20140913-1+b1 ii munge 0.5.11-1.1+b1 ii ucf 3.0030 slurm-client recommends no packages. slurm-client suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
