Hello Maiken,

My reading of the error message is this:

- you have SLURM 18.08.7 installed from some RPM package which is *not
available from a YUM repository*
- ElastiCluster runs `yum install slurm` so YUM only finds the
`slurm-*` packages coming from @verdurin's repository (which ATM only
contains SLURM 18.08..5)
- so YUM tries to downgrade SLURM packages to 18.08.5
- *but* some of the packages you have installed right now
(`slurm-sjstat`, `slurm-contribs`, `slurm-sjobexit`) are
"obsolete"[1], so they would be removed -- which seems not to be
allowed without additional options to YUM.[2]

I do not know YUM (or CentOS) for the matter to know how exactly to
cope with this situation.  Can you try setting `obsoletes=0` in
`/etc/yum.conf` (as explained in [2]) on all nodes and see if this
fixes the issue?  You will end up with SLURM 18.08.5 on the cluster,
though.
