Cannot Uninstall Package from Environment #10331
Description
I've installed python inside an environment. I'm not able to uninstall from within my environment. And I'm not able to uninstall from "plain vanilla Spack" either.
Steps to reproduce the issue

alias spack='spack -e otp-dev-mac'
$ spack find
==> In environment otp-dev-mac
==> Root specs
