[HTCondor-users] Condor 23.10.1 compatibility problem with Conda

["Anderson, Stuart B." <sba@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

What are the security implications (if any) and functional changes (if any) from deleting /etc/condor/config.d/00-security installed by condor-23.10.1-1.el8.x86_64?

That configuration file appears to be the only one installed by the RPM and contains the single un-commented line, "use security:recommended" that causes the following compatibility problem with Conda python bindings:

#
# What is the system installed version of Condor?
#
(igwn) [stuart.anderson@ldas-osg ~]$ which condor_version
/usr/bin/condor_version

(igwn) [stuart.anderson@ldas-osg ~]$ condor_version
$CondorVersion: 23.10.1 2024-10-03 BuildID: 759508 PackageID: 23.10.1-1 GitSHA: acedc362 $
$CondorPlatform: x86_64_AlmaLinux8 $


#
# What Conda environment and conda-forge versions
#
(igwn) [stuart.anderson@ldas-osg ~]$ echo $CONDA_PREFIX
/cvmfs/software.igwn.org/conda/envs/igwn <http://software.igwn.org/conda/envs/igwn>

(igwn) [stuart.anderson@ldas-osg ~]$ conda list | grep -i condor

(igwn) [stuart.anderson@ldas-osg ~]$ which python
/cvmfs/software.igwn.org/conda/envs/igwn/bin/python <http://software.igwn.org/conda/envs/igwn/bin/python>


#
# Compatbility problem for both the python package htcondor and htcondor2

(igwn) [stuart.anderson@ldas-osg ~]$ python -c "import htcondor"
Error: use security:recommended: does not recognise recommended

Thanks.
