Re: [Lmod-users] Strange behavior on Upgrade to Lmod 8.7.65; tells me to use spider for direct-load modules?

[Ryan N. <nov...@ru...>]

We rolled back production and the old version is working normally and the new one is still doing this under the pre-install state, so we can do any troubleshooting we need to do if anyone has any ideas.

Hi all,

Having something I’ve not seen before after upgrading from 8.7.32 to 8.7.65.

For especially compilers that are in a non-default module location (eg. you use “module use” to activate it), I’m getting this message, for example:

[novosirj@amarel1 ~]$ module load intel/oneapi_2022.3.1-sw1088
Lmod has detected the following error:  These module(s) or extension(s) exist but cannot be loaded as requested:
"intel/oneapi_2022.3.1-sw1088"
   Try: "module spider intel/oneapi_2022.3.1-sw1088" to see how to load the module(s).

However I do not see a reason:

[novosirj@amarel1 ~]$ module spider intel/oneapi_2022.3.1-sw1088

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  intel/oneapi_2022.3.1-sw1088: intel/oneapi_2022.3.1-sw1088
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Description:
      Intel oneAPI compiler


    This module can be loaded directly: module load intel/oneapi_2022.3.1-sw1088

    Help:
      This module loads the intel oneAPI compiler.

Did I miss something in the release notes? I’m still hunting around for a difference. These are user-generated module files, vs. our sysadmin-generated, but… they appear the same otherwise.
