Just to be sure and to not have to do yet another upload. Adding a
conflict against slurm-llnl  (<< 14.03.8-1) would be right, as according
to the slurm-llnl changelog that's the version where the packages were
renamed.

And wouldn't it be better to also add a conflict on the slurm-client
side? This would at least prevent a similar bug if the package get's
renamed again.

I don't know the reasons why this package was named sinfo. Maybe Jürgen
can answer this question.
