You cannot use a variable as an argument to the mod function, because this
leads to a non-linear constraint, that is not allowed in glpk.

One way to model the constraint StdPack is the following:

var q{i in I, r in R, t in T}, integer, >= 0;
/* quotient: q[i,r,t] = p[i,r,t] div S[i] */

var r{i in I, r in R, t in T}, >= 0, <= S[i]-1;
/* remainder: r[i,r,t] = p[i,r,t] mod S[i] */

s.t. foo{i in I, r, in R, t in T}: 
     p[i,r,t] = S[i] * q[i,r,t] + r[i,r,t];

s.t. StdPack{i in I} :
     s[i] = sum{r in R, t in T}r[i,r,t] ;
