Public bug reported:
I get the following error when I try to install slurm-wlm. The OS tries to add a user and the ID number already exists in my LDAP domain. This user is not a local account. It see it both when I use "--fix-broken-install", and when I don't. $ apt --fix-broken install Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information...
