StatAnalysis on EL9 / "AtlasSetup(FATAL): Fatal exception: !!!ERROR!!!" on lxplus
The lxplus.cern.ch
alias today switched over to point to EL9 resources instead of CC7: https://cern.ch/uefwc. Setting up StatAnalysis from cvmfs on EL9 machines fails with the following error:
AtlasSetup(FATAL): Fatal exception: !!!ERROR!!! Under /cvmfs/atlas-nightlies.cern.ch/repo/sw, branch path(s)=['0.2_StatAnalysis_x86_64-el9-gcc*-opt', '0.2', '0.2_StatAnalysis_x86_64-centos9-gcc*-opt', '0.2', '0.2_StatAnalysis_x86_64-el9--', '0.2', '0.2_StatAnalysis_x86_64-centos9--', '0.2'] not exist
For anyone running into this: as a temporary workaround, you can connect to CC7 machines via lxplus7.cern.ch
.
I am creating this issue here to inform people of this workaround if they arrive here in search of a solution before an EL9 release is available.
