Description

We currently have binary mirrors for the MVAPICH2-X and MVAPICH2-GDR packages that are available through spack. The binaries on these mirrors are rendered unusable whenever the build dependencies of MVAPICH2-X or MVPICH2-GDR (bison and libpciaccess) are updated by their maintainers.

This causes us to regenerate all our binaries with the latest version of spack and all the dependencies.

Steps to reproduce the issue

$ spack install mvapich2-gdr (does not work anymore. binaries not found though it exists.)
