Make sure your path is correct!

Spack used to include its package repository alongside Spack itself in the main repository. It has now been decoupled into a separate spack-packages repository. This allows upgrades to the package repository without upgrading Spack itself.

The ITSR team periodically clones releases of the spack-packages repository to /share/apps/rocky9/general/apps/spack-packages. Please ensure you are using the correct path, otherwise Spack will try to clone a fresh copy!

Content of repos.yaml

repos:
  builtin:
    destination: /share/apps/rocky9/general/apps/spack-packages/2026.03.0

The above sets the built-in package repository to a centrally cloned version of the v2026.03.0 release (the latest at the time of writing).
