See :ref:`package-requirements`. - -A common problem in Spack v0.18.0 up to v0.19.0.dev0 is that package, compiler and target -preferences specified in ``packages.yaml`` do not seem to be respected. Spack picks the -"wrong" compilers and their versions, package versions and variants, and -micro-architectures. - -This is however not a bug. In order to reduce the number of builds of the same -packages, the concretizer values reuse of installed packages higher than preferences -set in ``packages.yaml``. Note that ``packages.yaml`` specifies only preferences, not -hard constraints. - -There are multiple workarounds: - -1. Disable reuse during concretization: ``spack install --fresh <spec>`` when installing - from the command line, or ``spack concretize --fresh --force`` when using - environments. -2. Turn preferences into constrains, by moving them to the input spec. For example, - use ``spack spec zlib%gcc@12`` when you want to force GCC 12 even if ``zlib`` was - already installed with GCC 10. |
