Information on your system

• Spack: 1.1.0 (spack/spack@89b3f0b)
• Builtin repo: 119680a
• Python: 3.9.12
• Platform: linux-rhel8-sapphirerapids

Additional information

I tried directly executing wget https://downloads.xiph.org/releases/theora/libtheora-1.2.0.tar.xz and the connection also fails, but downloading the file through the website seems to work.

There does not appear to be spack-build-out.txt or spack-build-env.txt files in spack-stage-libtheora-1.2.0-qjom425ijdrupamw73zv2v6hinjwbjld so I couldn't upload them here.

General information

• I have run spack debug report and reported the version of Spack/Python/Platform
• I have run spack maintainers <name-of-the-package> and @mentioned any maintainers
• I have uploaded the build log and environment files
• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe this is not a duplicate

[nchristensen]

A workaround appears to be to obtain the files from a difference source. I added the following to ~/.spack/packages.yaml.

  libtheora:
    package_attributes:
      url: https://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/xiph/releases/theora/libtheora-1.2.0.tar.xz
