From v0.17, spack does not run on RH6.
The first reason is; python2.7 is needed, and the second; clingo needs to be installed by users, instead of bootstrapping.
I use miniconda for python2.7. Clingo can be installed via miniconda as
$ conda install -c potassco clingo
And also you may want to disable bootstraping as;
% spack bootstrap untrust github-actions
% spack bootstrap disable
