I'll write to the upstream author about the nameing conflict. The best
way to go would be to rename the upstream package. What's the purpose of 
the sinfo binary in the slurm-llnl package? If it has the same or a very
similar purpose and interface, an alternative would be another
possibility. 

In the mean time until this is sorted out, I'll rename the binaries to
sinfo-ant.
