Module hiden with SitePackage.lua is unfindable

[wpoely86]

With the Lmod version in EPEL (Lmod-8.7.53-1.el8.x86_64) we are having issues with modules hidden in the SitePackage.lua. The logic can be found here: https://github.com/vub-hpc/Lmod-config/blob/main/SitePackage.lua#L239-L246

This works well until we updated to 8.7.53. Now the module is not visible at all. Neither ml --show_hidden spider or ml --show_hidden av show it. Module that load it as a dependency fail to load. Removing the lines in our SitePackage.lua fixes the issue (but the module is no longer hidden).

In attachment I've added two files:

• output-broken.txt.gz: This is the output of ml -D --ignore-cache --show_hidden spider JupyterHub.
• output-unhidden.txt.gz. This is the same output but with the line of JupyterHub removed in the SitePackage.lua.

I do not have a fix yet but I can reproduce this issue. I'll keep you updated on progress on this issue.

I am unclear on what you mean by:

Module that load it as a dependency fail to load.

How are you loading this dependency? Is with the version or not?

As a version locked dependency (it are all EasyBuild generate module files):

depends_on("JupyterHub/4.1.5-GCCcore-12.3.0")
