The problem is not just rebuilding Slurm: if I rebuild Slurm, I have to 
rebuild OpenMPI, OpenIB and a alot of other stuff that I don't know with 
the needed detail.

I usually just stop everything for the upgrade, then upgrade to whatever 
Debian is shipping at the moment. If the history is lost, it's not a big 
issue (that's what DB backups are for :) ).

Tks.

That's a really useful info.
