Also seen in Ubuntu 18.10.

https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/libpmix-dev

When either of these packages are installed, the libpmix.so symlink is referencing a non-existent symbolic link.

Cosmic package:

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Luke Yeager (luke-yeager)]

FWIW, I fixed the bionic package in my PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-deepops/+archive/ubuntu/slurm/+packages?field.status_filter=

I also backported the disco package for bionic in that PPA, since the symlinks are fixed there.
