#1149781 slurm-wlm: FTBFS: configure: error: unable to locate pmix installation

Dear maintainer:

During a rebuild of all packages in unstable, this package failed to build.

Below you will find the last part of the build log (probably the most
relevant part, but not necessarily). If required, the full build log
is available here:

https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/202610/

About the archive rebuild: The build was made on virtual machines from AWS,
using sbuild and a reduced chroot with only build-essential packages.

If you cannot reproduce the bug please contact me privately, as I
am willing to provide ssh access to a virtual machine where the bug is
fully reproducible.

If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use
reassign and add an affects on src:slurm-wlm, so that this is still
visible in the BTS web page for this package.

Thanks.

Control: retitle -1 slurm-wlm FTBFS with pmix 7

I'd guess slurm-wlm needs a change similar to [1] for pmix 7.

Hi Adrian,
thanks for pointing this out.

After testing a similar patch, I found that it fixes the build issue,
but PMIx 7 support does not work correctly at runtime.

In a simple srun test, the job hangs in PMIx_server_setup_fork() and
the task never starts. Since PMIx 7 is still a release candidate and
this integration does not appear to be functional yet, I think the
safest approach for Debian is to drop PMIx 7 support for now.

I will re-enable it once a stable PMIx 7 release is available and
Slurm provides proper support for it.
Best,
