I apologize for the delayed reply. I had to dig the replies out of my spam folder, so I did not see them right away. Thank you for fixing this so quickly.

Subject: Re: [Modules] Switch between versions
Hello Glenn,
The issue you detect comes from the broken *versions* modulefiles that
are generated since Modules 4.2 when --enable-versioning installation
option is set. Modules 4.2 introduced the module consistency and
automated module handling and since then the use of "module unload"
command in modulefiles means declaring a conflict toward the module to
unload.
Starting Modules 4.7, the --not-req option is available on "module
unload" to avoid this implicit conflict declaration.
I have made an issue and a fix for it:
https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fcea-hpc%2Fmodules%2Fissues%2F531&data=05%7C02%7C%7C7f5501b9553f4d17ad7908dc89cf0152%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638536769375358499%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=0xB7tZSiQwS58jYCYOr1LHlmFcSw8ZB6NgTeYDfOGw4%3D&reserved=0<https://github.com/cea-hpc/modules/issues/531>
Existing versions modulefiles for Modules version above 4.6 should be
updated to add the --not-req option to the module unload commands. The
following shell script should help to fix these modulefiles (replace
/usr/local/Modules/versions by the location where the versions
modulefiles are located on your setup):
for i in /usr/local/Modules/versions/*; do
version=$(basename "$i")
version=$i
major=${version:0:1}
minor=${version:2:1}
if [[ "$major" -gt 4 || ("$major" -eq 4 && "$minor" -gt 6) ]]; then
sed -i "s|module unload|module unload --not-req|" "$i"
fi
done
Regards,
Xavier
