Additional information
Since this is not a build problem, but rather that the installed files are broken I don't have the spack-build* files.
I wonder whether this is a general problem with Python packages.
General information
- I have run
spack debug reportand reported the version of Spack/Python/Platform - I have run
spack maintainers <name-of-the-package>and @mentioned any maintainers - I have uploaded the build log and environment files
- I have searched the issues of this repo and believe this is not a duplicate
