I am trying to install Slurm-seff Perl package into Ubuntu 19.10.

It has .rpm package to install https://pkgs.org/download/slurm-seff ; but I am unable to install alien to install the .rpm package.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 alien : Depends: debhelper (>= 7) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Also for libslurm-perl and libslurmdb-perl packages:

$ sudo apt-get install libslurm-perl libslurmdb-perl
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libslurm-perl : Depends: perlapi-5.18.2
 libslurmdb-perl : Depends: perlapi-5.18.2
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Since it is a perl script I try to run it but unable to make it work from the following approach:

$ git clone https://github.com/SchedMD/slurm.git
$ cd slurm/contribs/seff
$ perl seff
Use of uninitialized value $FindBin::Bin in concatenation (.) or string at seff line 11.
Can't locate Slurmdb.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Slurmdb module) (@INC contains: /../lib/perl /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.28.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.28.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.28 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.28 /usr/share/perl/5.28 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base) at seff line 12.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at seff line 12.

Related to this I wasn't able to find any guide.

I am recommended to ask this StackOverflow question in askubuntu.com rather than SO.

  • The seff command is a Perl script. There is no need to compile/build it. Just copy it to a location present in your PATH env variable and you should be able to use it. And install libslurmdb-perl and libslurm-perl to run it. – kyodake Dec 05 '20 at 00:51
  • I am having following error when I try to install the app: libslurm-perl : Depends: perlapi-5.18.2 E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. also script does not work without building it , I am just unable to make it work – alper Dec 05 '20 at 18:35

    What Ubuntu are you using? Your problem is mostly installing Alien. I did install the package correctly on my Ubuntu 20.04.1. – Philippe Delteil Dec 09 '20 at 03:18
  • @PhilippeDelteil its Ubuntu 19.10 – alper Dec 09 '20 at 20:10
  • @alper please paste the output of sudo apt-get install -f AND dpkg --get-selections | grep hold AND sudo apt-get update.

    sudo apt-get autoremove

  • @PhilippeDelteil I have updated the question, please let me know if you require any more information – alper Dec 10 '20 at 11:21
  • @alper Your sources.list is messed up. There is no point of using 14.04 Trusty Tahr and 16.04 Xenial Xerus repository if you're using 19.10 Eoan Ermine. Also, it's been more than 4 months since 19.10 reached end of life. Eoan's repository information and packages are now hosted at old-releases.ubuntu.com. You must restore default repositories for Eoan Ermine and then change the URL to old-releases. To get started see How do I restore the default repositories? and How to install software or upgrade from an old unsupported release?. – Kulfy Dec 11 '20 at 10:45
  • I agree with Kulfy, first you need to fix the repositories. I'd upgrade to 20.04.1 . – Philippe Delteil Dec 11 '20 at 14:24
  • I have upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS but I am still seeing the same error starting with Can't locate Slurmdb.pm in @INC on my question – alper Dec 13 '20 at 20:39
