Please see the upstream discussion at: https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/issues/4072
I was unfortunately not aware of pmi2 from slurm when packaging pmix2 from openmpi. Possible solutions include: (1) pmix splitting its conflictng files into another package libpmix-pmi-dev ? (name?) (2) Shipping only one pmi-dev package ? regards Alastair On 17/11/2017 19:22, Andreas Beckmann wrote: > Package: libpmi2-0-dev,libpmix-dev > Severity: serious > User: trei...@debian.org > Usertags: edos-file-overwrite > Control: found -1 2.1.0~rc1-1 > Control: found -1 17.02.9-1 > > Hi, > > automatic installation tests of packages that share a file and at the > same time do not conflict by their package dependency relationships has > detected the following problem: > > Selecting previously unselected package libpmix-dev:amd64. > Preparing to unpack .../12-libpmix-dev_2.1.0~rc1-1_amd64.deb ... > Unpacking libpmix-dev:amd64 (2.1.0~rc1-1) ... > dpkg: error processing archive > /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-Y3Z8bF/12-libpmix-dev_2.1.0~rc1-1_amd64.deb (--unpack): > trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpmi2.so', which is also > in package libpmi2-0-dev 17.02.9-1 > Errors were encountered while processing: > /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-Y3Z8bF/12-libpmix-dev_2.1.0~rc1-1_amd64.deb > > This is a serious bug as it makes installation fail, and violates > sections 7.6.1 and 10.1 of the policy.
