[slurm-users] Dependecy conflict with pkgconfig in slurm.spec

[AiO]

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.

< Requires: slurm

< %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?

Kind regards,
