Seems to me that 3.21.1 > 3.12 ...

Issue was that spack no longer has version entry for cmake@3.21.1

[cyrush]

a key difference between conduit and ascent spack package logic:

https://github.com/spack/spack/blob/2bfcc69fa870d3c6919be87593f22647981b648a/var/spack/repos/builtin/packages/conduit/package.py#L311

this one line change made it so that the host config wasn't copied during the host config stage, but instead only during final install.

This undermined the uberenv-pkg mode, which depends on the host config being generated earlier -- since it stops after the host config stage ...

I added to add an extra copy to the derived uberenv-ascent package.

Hunting this down took about a day of builds and sleuthing.

Here is the ascent logic for ref:
https://github.com/spack/spack/blob/2bfcc69fa870d3c6919be87593f22647981b648a/var/spack/repos/builtin/packages/ascent/package.py#L377

remaining failures:

minimal failure: MPI is off, but we are trying to build conduit relay mpi for some reason
static build failure: spack silo defaults to +python, however silo fails to build with static & python combo
other failures:
need :

depends_on("py-pip", type=("build", "run"))

In the conduit package proper in spack, py-pip is only listed as a build dep.

This differs from ascent (another subtle difference that we should resolve)

hdf5+mpi this was an issue with the spack spec not getting passed correctly in our ci

[cyrush]

More fun:

Will try a different candidate, due to conflict:
    sphinxcontrib-qthelp 2.0.0 depends on Python >=3.9
ERROR: Package 'sphinxcontrib-qthelp' requires a different Python: 3.8.16 not in '>=3.9'

Bummer about this message is that is is not shown in the console, I had to read the log to see what the underlying error was.

I also think this is an error during pip install and solve -- not with spack constraints -- so this slipped past the spack defenses.

I am going to swing to python 3.9.

No more mysteries!

It was the spack concretizer, with the candlestick, in the cloud.
