This is a list of known bugs in Spack. It provides ways of getting around these
problems if you encounter them.
------------------------------------------------------------------
-Default variants are not taken into account during concretization
------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-**Status:** Expected to be fixed in the next release
-
-Current concretization algorithm does not take into account default values
-of variants when adding extra constraints to the spec via CLI. For example
-you may encounter the following error when trying to specify which MPI provider
-to use:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- $ spack install hdf5 ^openmpi
- ==> Error: hdf5 does not depend on openmpi
-
-although the hdf5 package contains:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
- variant('mpi', default=True, description='Enable MPI support')
- depends_on('mpi', when='+mpi')
-
-A workaround is to explicitly activate the variant related to the dependency:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- $ spack install hdf5+mpi ^openmpi
-
-See https://github.com/spack/spack/issues/397 for further details.
