An update that has two fixes can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for spack fixes the following issues:

  * Spack was updated to version 0.21.2:

  * Bugs fixed:

    * Containerize: accommodate nested or pre-existing `spack-env` paths.
    * Fix `setup-env` script, when going back and forth between instances.
    * Fix using fully-qualified namespaces from root specs.
    * Fix a bug when a required provider is requested for multiple virtuals.
    * OCI buildcaches:
    * only push in parallel when forking.
    * use pickleable errors (#42160)
    * Fix using sticky variants in externals.
    * Fix a rare issue with conditional requirements and multi-valued variants.
  * Recipy updates:

    * `rust`: add v1.75, rework a few variants.
    * `py-transformers`: add v4.35.2.
  * Fix path to setup-env.sh in the Apptainer template (bsc#1221471).

  * Add libgfortran, libfl2 and libzip5 to the Spack runtime container as the
    Spack build container has the corresponding devel packages but these
    libraries are not installed in a BCI-style base container by default
    (bsc#1221503).
  * Make python version used configurable.
