I am trying to build Slurm version 24.11.6 on an Ubuntu 22.04 system. I download and unpack the source mk-build-deps -i debian/control (not run as root) debuild -b -uc -us
I get this error repeated many times: dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: can't extract name and version from library name 'libslurmfull.so'
Has anyone seen similar issues? For information, there is an existing SLurm installation on this syste, with version 21 dpkgs from the Ubuntu repository.
Although this seems to be discouraged (I don't fully get why) it might help to fetch the source package - both of the version you're currently running, and the highest one you can find (perhaps for 25.04), and "steal" (and adapt) the debian/* tree. (When doing so, make sure you mark the build as a backport so you'll get the regular one once you full-upgrade.)
You're aware of the requirement not to skip too many versions in between, to keep the slurmdbd database alive?
Best, S
