Solution to install multiple same packages
For example, if Emacs@27.2 has already been installed on Spack, the following error will occur when Spack Load Emacs is executed in the same condition, etc. You may.
For example, if Emacs@27.2 has already been installed with spack, but the same Emacs@27.2 is installed again under the same conditions, you may receive the following error when executing spack load emacs.
==> Error: emacs matches multiple packages. Matching packages:
xi4oeab emacs@27.2%gcc@8.5.0 arch=linux-centos7-zen
7ck36ru emacs@27.2%gcc@8.5.0 arch=linux-centos7-zen
Use a more specific spec.
If you receive such an error, one of them is not needed and should be removed.
To uninstall, execute the following command with the hash value above.
spack uninstall /7ck36ru
