When running `spack install --log-format junit|cdash ...`, install
errors were ignored. This made spack continue building dependents of
failed install, ignoring `--fail-fast`, and exit 0 at the end.
* locks: allow locks to work under high contention
This is a bug found by Harshitha Menon.
The `lock=None` line shouldn't be a release but should be
```
return (lock_type, None)
```
to inform the caller it couldn't get the lock type requested without
disturbing the existing lock object in the database. There were also a
couple of bugs due to taking write locks at the beginning without any
checking or release, and not releasing read locks before requeueing.
This version no longer gives me read upgrade to write errors, even
running 200 instances on one box.
* Change lock in check_deps_status to read, release if not installed,
not sure why this was ever write, but read definitely is more
appropriate here, and the read lock is only held out of the scope if
the package is installed.
* Release read lock before requeueing to reduce chance of livelock, the
timeout that caused the original issue now happens in roughly 3 of 200
workers instead of 199 on average.
Fixes#27652
Ensure that mirror's to_dict function returns a syaml_dict object for all code
paths.
Switch to using the .get function for accessing the potential information from
the S3 mirror objects. If the key is not there, it will gracefully return
None instead of failing with a KeyError
Additionally, check that the connection object is a dictionary before trying
to "get" from it.
Add a test for the capturing of the new S3 information.

Updates to installer.py did not account for spack monitor, so as currently implemented
there are three cases of failure that spack monitor will not account for. To fix this we add additional
hooks, including an on cancel and also do a custom action on concretization fail.

The latest version of `jsonschema` fails if we're not specific about which schema draft
specification we're using. Update all of them to use the latest one (draft-07).
Our `jsonschema` external won't support Python 3.10, so we need to upgrade it.
It currently generates this warning:
lib/spack/external/jsonschema/compat.py:6: DeprecationWarning: Using or importing the ABCs
from 'collections' instead of from 'collections.abc' is deprecated since Python 3.3, and
in 3.10 it will stop working
This upgrades `jsonschema` to 3.2.0, the latest version with support for Python 2.7. The next
version after this (4.0.0) drops support for 2.7 and 3.6, so we'll have to wait to upgrade to it.
Dependencies have been added in prior commits.
spack monitor now requires authentication as each build must be associated
with a user, so it does not make sense to allow the --monitor-no-auth flag
and this commit will remove it
This commit introduces the command
spack module tcl setdefault <package>
similar to the one already available for lmod

This PR also slightly changes the behavior in ci_rebuild().
We now still attempt to submit `spack install` results to CDash
even if the initial registration failed due to connection issues.
This commit follows in the spirit of #24299. We do not want `spack install`
to exit with a non-zero status when something goes wrong while attempting to
report results to CDash.
This PR is meant to move code with "business logic" from `spack.cmd.buildcache` to appropriate core modules[^1].
Modifications:
- [x] Add `spack.binary_distribution.push` to create a binary package from a spec and push it to a mirror
- [x] Add `spack.binary_distribution.install_root_node` to install only the root node of a concrete spec from a buildcache (may check the sha256 sum if it is passed in as input)
- [x] Add `spack.binary_distribution.install_single_spec` to install a single concrete spec from a buildcache
- [x] Add `spack.binary_distribution.download_single_spec` to download a single concrete spec from a buildcache to a local destination
- [x] Add `Spec.from_specfile` that construct a spec given the path of a JSON or YAML spec file
- [x] Removed logic from `spack.cmd.buildcache`
- [x] Removed calls to `spack.cmd.buildcache` in `spack.bootstrap`
- [x] Deprecate `spack buildcache copy` with a message that says it will be removed in v0.19.0
[^1]: The rationale is that commands should be lightweight wrappers of the core API, since that helps with both testing and scripting (easier mocking and no need to invoke `SpackCommand`s in a script).
After this PR an error in a single package while detecting
external software won't abort the entire procedure.
The error is reported to screen as a warning.
Remove a try/catch for an error with no handling. If the affected
code doesn't execute successfully, then the associated variable
is undefined and another (more-obscure) error occurs shortly after.
Remove a custom bootstrapping procedure to
use spack.bootstrap instead
Modifications:
* Reference count the bootstrap context manager
* Avoid SpackCommand to make the bootstrapping
procedure more transparent
* Put back requirement on patchelf being in PATH for unit tests
* Add an e2e test to check bootstrapping patchelf
I think this test should be removed, but when it stays, it should at
least follow the symlink, cause it fails for me if I let spack build
patchelf and have a symlink in a view.
Modifications:
- [x] Removed `centos:6` unit test, adjusted vermin checks
- [x] Removed backport of `collections.OrderedDict`
- [x] Removed backport of `functools.total_ordering`
- [x] Removed Python 2.6 specific skip markers in unit tests
- [x] Fixed a few minor Python 2.6 related TODOs in code
Updating the vendored dependencies will be done in separate PRs
* Make CUDA and ROCm architecture conditional
fixes#14337
The variant to specify which architecture to use
for CUDA and ROCm are now conditional on +cuda and
+rocm respectively.
* cp2k: make all CUDA related variants conditional on +cuda
* Add connection specification to mirror creation
This allows each mirror to contain information about the credentials
used to access it.
Update command and tests based on comments
Switch to only "long form" flags for the s3 connection information.
Use the "any" function instead of checking for an empty list when looking
for s3 connection information.
Split test to use the access token separately from the access id and key.
Use long flag form in test.
Add endpoint_url to available S3 options.
Extend the special parameters for an S3 mirror to accept the
endpoint_url parameter.
Add a test.
* Add connection information per URL not per mirror
Expand the mirror-based connection information to be per-URL.
This will allow a user to specify different S3 connection information
for both the fetch and the push URLs.
Add a parameter for "profile", another way of storing the id/secret pair.
* Switch from "access_profile" to "profile"
Remove the "get_executable" function from the
spack.bootstrap module. Now "flake8", "isort",
"mypy" and "black" will use the same
bootstrapping method as GnuPG.
Currently Spack vendors `pytest` at a version which is three major
versions behind the latest (3.2.5 vs. 6.2.4). We do that since v3.2.5
is the latest version supporting Python 2.6. Remaining so much
behind the currently supported versions though might introduce
some incompatibilities and is surely a technical debt.
This PR modifies Spack to:
- Use the vendored `pytest@3.2.5` only as a fallback solution,
if the Python interpreter used for Spack doesn't provide a newer one
- Be able to parse `pytest --collect-only` in all the different output
formats from v3.2.5 to v6.2.4 and use it consistently for `spack unit-test --list-*`
- Updating the unit tests in Github Actions to use a more recent `pytest` version
This type of error is skipped:
make[1]: *** [Makefile:222: /tmp/user/spack-stage/.../spack-src/usr/lib/julia/libopenblas64_.so.so] Error 1
but it's useful to have it, especially when a package sets a variable
incorrectly in makefiles
Intel mpi comes with an installation of libfabric (which it needs as a
dependency). It can use other implementations of libfabric at runtime
though, so if you install a package that depends on `mpi` and
`libfabric`, you can specify `intel-mpi+external-libfabric` and ensure
that the Spack-built instance is used (both by `intel-mpi` and the
root).
Apply analogous change to intel-oneapi-mpi.
When running `spack install --log-format junit|cdash ...`, install
errors were ignored. This made spack continue building dependents of
failed install, ignoring `--fail-fast`, and exit 0 at the end.

fixes#27237
The mechanism to reuse concrete specs relies on imposing
the set of constraints stemming from the concrete spec
being reused.
We also need to prevent that other constraints get added
to this set.
See #25249 and https://github.com/spack/spack/pull/27159#issuecomment-958163679.
This adds `spack load --list` as an alias for `spack find --loaded`. The new command is
not as powerful as `spack find --loaded`, as you can't combine it with all the queries or
formats that `spack find` provides. However, it is more intuitively located in the command
structure in that it appears in the output of `spack load --help`.
The idea here is that people can use `spack load --list` for simple stuff but fall back to
`spack find --loaded` if they need more.
- add help to `spack load --list` that references `spack find`
- factor some parts of `spack find` out to be called from `spack load`
- add shell tests
- update docs

Reformulate variant rules so that we minimize both
1. The number of non-default values being used
2. The number of default values not-being used
This is crucial for MV variants where we may have
more than one default value
In our tests, we use concrete specs generated from mock packages,
which *only* occur as inputs to the solver. This fixes two problems:
1. We weren't previously adding facts to encode the necessary
`depends_on()` relationships, and specs were unsatisfiable on
reachability.
2. Our hash lookup for reconstructing the DAG does not
consider that a hash may have come from the inputs.
Concrete specs that are already installed or that come from a buildcache
may have compilers and variant settings that we do not recognize, but that
shouldn't prevent reuse (at least not until we have a more detailed compiler
model).
- [x] make sure compiler and variant consistency rules only apply to
built specs
- [x] don't validate concrete specs on input, either -- they're concrete
and we shouldn't apply today's rules to yesterday's build
In switching to hash facts for concrete specs, we lost the transitive facts
from dependencies. This was fine for solves, because they were implied by
the imposed constraints from every hash. However, for `spack diff`, we want
to see what the hashes mean, so we need another mode for `spec_clauses()` to
show that.
This adds a `expand_hashes` argument to `spec_clauses()` that allows us to
output *both* the hashes and their implications on dependencies. We use
this mode in `spack diff`.
- [x] Get rid of forgotten maximize directive.
- [x] Simplify variant handling
- [x] Fix bug in treatment of defaults on externals (don't count
non-default variants on externals against them)
Variants in concrete specs are "always" correct -- or at least we assume
them to be b/c they were concretized before. Their variants need not match
the current version of the package.
Multi-valued variants previously maximized default values to handle
cases where the default contained two values, e.g.:
variant("foo", default="bar,baz")
This is because previously we were minimizing non-default values, and
`foo=bar`, `foo=baz`, and `foo=bar,baz` all had the same score, as
none of them had any "non-default" values.
This commit changes the approach and considers a non-default value
to be either a value set to something not default *or* the absence
of a default value from the set value. This allows multi- and
single-valued variants to be handled the same way, with the same
minimization criterion. It alse means that the "best" value for every
optimization criterion is now zero, which allows us to make useful
assumptions about the optimization criteria.
Minimizing builds is tricky. We want a minimizing criterion because
we want to reuse the avaialble installs, but we also want things that
have to be built to stick to *default preferences* from the package
and from the user. We therefore treat built specs differently and
apply a different set of optimization criteria to them. Spack's *first*
priority is to reuse what it can, but if it builds something, the built
specs will respect defaults and preferences.
This is implemented by bumping the priority of optimization criteria
for built specs -- so that they take precedence over the otherwise
topmost-priority criterion to reuse what is installed.
The scheme relies on all of our optimization criteria being minimizations.
That is, we need the case where all specs are reused to be better than
any built spec could be. Basically, if nothing is built, all the build
criteria are zero (the best possible) and the number of built packages
dominates. If something *has* to be built, it must be strictly worse
than full reuse, because:
1. it increases the number of built specs
2. it must have either zero or some positive number for all criteria
Our optimziation criteria effectively sum into two buckets at once to
accomplish this. We use a `build_priority()` number to shift the
priority of optimization criteria for built specs higher.
The constraints in the `spack diff` test were very specific and assumed
a lot about the structure of what was being diffed. Relax them a bit to
make them more resilient to changes.
Make the first minimization conditional on whether `--reuse` is enabled in the solve.
If `--reuse` is not enabled, there will be nothing in the set to minimize and the
objective function (for this criterion) will be 0 for every answer set.
Many of the integrity constraints in the concretizer are there to restrict how solves are done, but
they ignore that past solves may have had different initial conditions. For example, for things
we're building, we want the allowed variants to be restricted to those currently in Spack packages,
but if we are reusing a concrete spec, we need to be flexible about names that may have existed in
old packages.
Similarly, restrictions around compatibility of OS's, compiler versions, compiler OS support, etc.
are really only about what is supported by the *current* set of compilers/build tools known to
Spack, not about what we may get from concrete specs.
- [x] restrict certain integrity constraints to only apply to packages that we need to build, and
omit concrete specs from consideration.
The OS logic in the concretizer is still the way it was in the first version.
Defaults are implemented in a fairly inflexible way using straight logic. Most
of the other sections have been reworked to leave these kinds of decisions to
optimization. This commit does that for OS's as well.
As with targets, we optimize for target matches. We also try to optimize for
OS matches between nodes. Additionally, this commit adds the notion of
"OS compatibility" where we allow for builds to depend on binaries for certain
other OS's. e.g, for macos, a bigsur build can depend on an already installed
(concrete) catalina build. One cool thing about this is that we can declare
additional compatible OS's later, e.g. CentOS and RHEL.
If we don't rename Spack will fail with:
```
ImportError: cannot bootstrap the "clingo" Python module from spec "clingo-bootstrap@spack+python %gcc target=x86_64" due to the following failures:

Please run `spack -d spec zlib` for more verbose error messages
```
in case bootstrapping from binaries fails and we are
falling back to bootstrapping from sources.
A common question from users has been how to model variants
that are new in new versions of a package, or variants that are
dependent on other variants. Our stock answer so far has been
an unsatisfying combination of "just have it do nothing in the old
version" and "tell Spack it conflicts".
This PR enables conditional variants, on any spec condition. The
syntax is straightforward, and matches that of previous features.
* GnuPG: allow bootstrapping from buildcache and sources
* Add a test to bootstrap GnuPG from binaries
* Disable bootstrapping in tests
* Add e2e test to bootstrap GnuPG from sources on Ubuntu
* Add e2e test to bootstrap GnuPG on macOS
This PR adds error message sentinels to the clingo solve, attached to each of the rules that could fail a solve. The unsat core is then restricted to these messages, which makes the minimization problem tractable. Errors that can only be generated by a bug in the logic program or generating code are prefaced with "Internal error" to make clear to users that something has gone wrong on the Spack side of things.
* minimize unsat cores manually
* only errors messages are choices/assumptions for performance
* pre-check for unreachable nodes
* update tests for new error message
* make clingo concretization errors show up in cdash reports fully
* clingo: make import of clingo.ast parsing routines robust to clingo version
Older `clingo` has `parse_string`; newer `clingo` has `parse_files`. Make the
code work wtih both.
* make AST access functions backward-compatible with clingo 5.4.0
Clingo AST API has changed since 5.4.0; make some functions to help us
handle both versions of the AST.

After #26608 I got a report about missing rpaths when building a
downstream package independently using a spack-installed toolchain
(@tmdelellis). This occurred because the spack-installed libraries were
being linked into the downstream app, but the rpaths were not being
manually added. Prior to #26608 autotools-installed libs would retain
their hard-coded path and would thus propagate their link information
into the downstream library on mac.
We could solve this problem *if* the mac linker (ld) respected
`LD_RUN_PATH` like it does on GNU systems, i.e. adding `rpath` entries
to each item in the environment variable. However on mac we would have
to manually add rpaths either using spack's compiler wrapper scripts or
manually (e.g. using `CMAKE_BUILD_RPATH` and pointing to the libraries of
all the autotools-installed spack libraries).
The easier and safer thing to do for now is to simply stop changing the
dylib IDs.
The `--generic` argument allows printing the best generic target for the
current machine. This can be quite handy when wanting to find the
generic architecture to use when building a shared software stack for
multiple machines.
This PR adds a "spack tags" command to output package tags or
(available) packages with those tags. It also ensures each package
is listed in the tag cache ONLY ONCE per tag.

If you don't format `spack.yaml` correctly, `spack config edit` still fails and
you have to edit your `spack.yaml` manually.
- [x] Add some code to `_main()` to defer `ConfigFormatError` when loading the
environment, until we know what command is being run.
- [x] Make `spack config edit` use `SPACK_ENV` instead of the config scope
object to find `spack.yaml`, so it can work even if the environment is bad.

`spack config get <section>` was erroneously returning just the `spack.yaml`
for the environment.
It should return the combined configuration for that section (including
anything from `spack.yaml`), even in an environment.
- [x] reorder conditions in `cmd/config.py` to fix
`spack --debug config edit` was not working properly -- it would not do show a
stack trace for configuration errors.
- [x] Rework `_main()` and add some notes for maintainers on where things need
to go for configuration to work properly.
- [x] Move config setup to *after* command-line parsing is done.

`main()` has grown, and in some cases code that can generate errors has gotten
outside the top-level try/catch in there. This means that simple errors like
config issues give you large stack traces, which shouldn't happen without
`--debug`.
- [x] Split `main()` into `main()` for the top-level error handling and
`_main()` with all logic.
There were some loose ends left in ##26735 that cause errors when
using `SPACK_DISABLE_LOCAL_CONFIG`.
- [x] Fix hard-coded `~/.spack` references in `install_test.py` and `monitor.py`
Also, if `SPACK_DISABLE_LOCAL_CONFIG` is used, there is the issue that
`$user_config_path`, when used in configuration files, makes no sense,
because there is no user config scope.
Since we already have `$user_cache_path` in configuration files, and since there
really shouldn't be *any* data stored in a configuration scope (which is what
you'd configure in `config.yaml`/`bootstrap.yaml`/etc., this just removes
`$user_config_path`.
There will *always* be a `$user_cache_path`, as Spack needs to write files, but
we shouldn't rely on the existence of a particular configuration scope in the
Spack code, as scopes are configurable, both in number and location.
- [x] Remove `$user_config_path` substitution.
- [x] Fix reference to `$user_config_path` in `etc/spack/deaults/bootstrap.yaml`
to refer to `$user_cache_path`, which is where it was intended to be.
* Deactivate previous env before activating new one
Currently on develop you can run `spack env activate` multiple times to switch
between environments, but they leave traces, even though Spack only supports
one active environment at a time.
Currently:
```console
$ spack env create a
$ spack env create b
$ spack env activate -p a
[a] $ spack env activate -p b
[b] [a] $ spack env activate -p b
[a] [b] [a] $ spack env activate -p a
[a] [b] [c] $ echo $MANPATH | tr ":" "\n"
/path/to/environments/a/.spack-env/view/share/man
/path/to/environments/a/.spack-env/view/man
/path/to/environments/b/.spack-env/view/share/man
/path/to/environments/b/.spack-env/view/man
```
This PR fixes that:
```console
$ spack env activate -p a
[a] $ spack env activate -p b
[b] $ spack env activate -p a
[a] $ echo $MANPATH | tr ":" "\n"
/path/to/environments/a/.spack-env/view/share/man
/path/to/environments/a/.spack-env/view/man
```
* Drastically improve YamlFilesystemView file removal via batching
The `remove_file` routine has to check if the file is owned by multiple packages, so it doesn't
remove necessary files. This is done by the `get_all_specs` routine, which walks the entire
package tree. With large numbers of packages on shared file systems, this can take seconds
per file tree traversal, which adds up extremely quickly. For example, a single deactivate
of a largish python package in our software stack on GPFS took approximately 40 minutes.
This patch simply replaces `remove_file` with a batch `remove_files` routine. This routine
removes a list of files rather than a single file, requiring only one traversal per batch. In
practice this means a package can be removed in seconds time, rather than potentially hours,
essentially a ~100x speedup (ignoring initial deactivation logic, which takes about 3 minutes
in our test setup).
* Fix sbang hook for non-writable files
PR #26793 seems to have broken the sbang hook for files with missing
write permissions. Installing perl now breaks with the following error:
```

```

When relocating a binary distribution, Spack only checks files to see
if they are a link that needs to be relocated. Directories can be
such links as well, however, and need to undergo the same checks
and potential relocation.
`spack list` tests are not using mock packages for some reason, and many
are marked as potentially slow. This isn't really necessary; we don't need
6,000 packages to test the command.
- [x] update tests to use `mock_packages` fixture
- [x] remove `maybeslow` annotations
Currently Spack reads full files containing shebangs to memory as
strings, meaning Spack would have to guess their encoding. Currently
Spack has a fixed guess of UTF-8.
This is unnecessary, since e.g. the Linux kernel does not assume an
encoding on paths at all, it's just bytes and some delimiters on the
byte level.
This commit does the following:
1. Shebangs are treated as bytes, so that e.g. latin1 encoded files do
not throw UnicodeEncoding errors, and adds a test for this.
2. No more bytes than necessary are read to memory, we only have to read
until the first newline, and from there on we an copy the file byte by
bytes instead of decoding and re-encoding text.
3. We cap the number of bytes read to 4096, if no newline is found
before that, we don't attempt to patch it.
4. Add support for luajit too.
This should make Spack both more efficient and usable for non-UTF8
files.
Spack's `system` and `user` scopes provide ways for administrators and
users to set global defaults for all Spack instances, but for use cases
where one wants a clean Spack installation, these scopes can be undesirable.
For example, users may want to opt out of global system configuration, or
they may want to ignore their own home directory settings when running in
a continuous integration environment.
Spack also, by default, keeps various caches and user data in `~/.spack`,
but users may want to override these locations.
Spack provides three environment variables that allow you to override or
opt out of configuration locations:
* `SPACK_USER_CONFIG_PATH`: Override the path to use for the
`user` (`~/.spack`) scope.
* `SPACK_SYSTEM_CONFIG_PATH`: Override the path to use for the
`system` (`/etc/spack`) scope.
* `SPACK_DISABLE_LOCAL_CONFIG`: set this environment variable to completely
disable *both* the system and user configuration directories. Spack will
only consider its own defaults and `site` configuration locations.
And one that allows you to move the default cache location:
* `SPACK_USER_CACHE_PATH`: Override the default path to use for user data
(misc_cache, tests, reports, etc.)
With these settings, if you want to isolate Spack in a CI environment, you can do this:
export SPACK_DISABLE_LOCAL_CONFIG=true
export SPACK_USER_CACHE_PATH=/tmp/spack
This is a stop-gap approach until we have figured out how to deal with
the system and user config scopes more generally, as there are plans to
potentially / eventually get rid of them.
**User config**
Spack is a bit of a pain when you have:
- a shared $HOME folder across different systems.
- multiple Spack versions on the same system.
**System config**
- On shared systems with a versioned programming environment / toolkit,
system administrators want to provide config for each version (e.g.
21.09, 21.10) of the programming environment, and the user Spack
instance should be able to pick this up without a steep learning
curve.
- On shared systems the user should be able to opt out of the
hard-coded config scope in /etc/spack, since it may be incompatible
with their particular instance. Currently Spack can only opt out of all
config scopes through overrides with `"config:":`, `"packages:":`, but that
also drops the defaults config, which would have to be repeated, which
is undesirable, especially the lengthy packages.yaml.
An example use case is: having config in this folder:
```
/path/to/programming/environment/{version}/{compilers,packages}.yaml
```
and have `module load spack-system-config` set the variable
```
SPACK_SYSTEM_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/programming/environment/{version}
```
where the user no longer has to worry about what `{version}` they are
on.
**Continuous integration**
Finally, there is the use case of continuous integration, which may
clone an arbitrary Spack version, which optimally should not pick up
system or user config from the previous run (like may happen in
classical bare metal non-containerized filesystem side effect ridden
jenkins pipelines). In fact this is very similar to how spack itself
tries to avoid picking up system dependencies during builds...
**But environments solve this?**
- You could do `include`s in environment files to get similar behavior
to the spack_system_config_path example, but environments require you
to:
1) require paths to individual config files, not directories.
2) fail if the listed config file does not exist
- They allow you to override config scopes, but this is generally too
rigurous, as it requires you to repeat the default config, in
particular packages.yaml, and just defies the point of layered config.

Any spec satisfying a default will be symlinked to `default`
If multiple specs have modulefiles in the same directory and satisfy
configured module defaults, then whichever was written last will be
default.
This PR permits to specify the `url` and `ref` of the Spack instance used in a container recipe simply by expanding the YAML schema as outlined in #20442:
```yaml
container:
images:
os: amazonlinux:2
spack:
ref: develop
resolve_sha: true
```
The `resolve_sha` option, if true, verifies the `ref` by cloning the Spack repository in a temporary directory and transforming any tag or branch name to a commit sha. When this new ability is leveraged an additional "bootstrap" stage is added, which builds an image with Spack setup and ready to install software. The Spack repository to be used can be customized with the `url` keyword under `spack`.
Modifications:
- [x] Permit to pin the version of Spack, either by branch or tag or sha
- [x] Added a few new OSes (centos:8, amazonlinux:2, ubuntu:20.04, alpine:3, cuda:11.2.1)
- [x] Permit to print the bootstrap image as a standalone
- [x] Add documentation on the new part of the schema
- [x] Add unit tests for different use cases
1. Currently it prints not just the spec name, but the dependencies +
their variants + their compilers + their architectures + ...
2. It's clear from the context what spec the message applies to, so,
let's not print the spec at all.
These three rules in `concretize.lp` are overly complex:
```prolog
:- not provider(Package, Virtual),
provides_virtual(Package, Virtual),
virtual_node(Virtual).
```
```prolog
:- provides_virtual(Package, V1), provides_virtual(Package, V2), V1 != V2,
provider(Package, V1), not provider(Package, V2),
virtual_node(V1), virtual_node(V2).
```
```prolog
provider(Package, Virtual) :- root(Package), provides_virtual(Package, Virtual).
```
and they can be simplified to just:
```prolog
provider(Package, Virtual) :- node(Package), provides_virtual(Package, Virtual).
```
- [x] simplify virtual rules to just one implication
- [x] rename `provides_virtual` to `virtual_condition_holds`
