Hi all,I just wanted to check with you if I've discovered a possible error in the slurm.spec file when building CentOS RPM package using rpmbuild.
It only conserns the slurm-devel package. I use currently use slurm 17.02.7, but I think the dependency conflict is in later versinos too.
When trying to install slurm-devel it conflicts with pkgconfig, since it pkgconfig also provie the <libdir>/pkgconfig directory - which also is provided in slurm-devel.
The following small fix to the .spec-file allows me to install the package correctly - but it adds dependency to pkgconfig. Right or wrong, I don't know. But it seems logical that pkgconfig should be the one providing the storage locatino for .pc-files.
237c237 < Requires: slurm --
Requires: slurm pkgconfig
783c783< %dir %{_libdir}/pkgconfig
--
#%dir %{_libdir}/pkgconfig
Or maybe just remove the %dir-part for the slurm-devel pacakge completely might be nicer. I just kept it for "nostalgic reasons" :D. Anyhow the example prooves my point.
What do you guys think? Should it be done this way to remove the RPM package conflict to pkgconfig?
