An update that has two fixes can now be installed.

Description:

This update for spack fixes the following issues:

• Spack was updated to version 0.21.2:

• Bugs fixed:

  • Containerize: accommodate nested or pre-existing spack-env paths.
  • Fix setup-env script, when going back and forth between instances.
  • Fix using fully-qualified namespaces from root specs.
  • Fix a bug when a required provider is requested for multiple virtuals.
  • OCI buildcaches:
  • only push in parallel when forking.
  • use pickleable errors (#42160)
  • Fix using sticky variants in externals.
  • Fix a rare issue with conditional requirements and multi-valued variants.

• Recipy updates:

  • rust: add v1.75, rework a few variants.
  • py-transformers: add v4.35.2.

• Fix path to setup-env.sh in the Apptainer template (bsc#1221471).

• Add libgfortran, libfl2 and libzip5 to the Spack runtime container as the Spack build container has the corresponding devel packages but these libraries are not installed in a BCI-style base container by default (bsc#1221503).
• Make python version used configurable.
