I am following the instructions of installing fenics from the github readme. The installation fails when trying to install py-fenics-dolfinx and spack stops running.

These are last couple lines from first run
Then I ran it again and saw this error in the beginning

Also when running spack --debug install … I get this

Any help would be much appreciated!
