-Known Issues
-============
-
-This is a list of known issues in Spack. It provides ways of getting around these
-problems if you encounter them.
-
-------------------------------------------------
-Spack does not seem to respect ``packages.yaml``
-------------------------------------------------
-
-.. note::
-
- This issue is **resolved** as of v0.19.0.dev0 commit
- `8281a0c5feabfc4fe180846d6fe95cfe53420bc5`, through the introduction of package
- requirements. 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.
