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.
