Description
Hello, I'm trying to create a spack package by following the Spack tutorial ([https://spack-tutorial.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial_packaging.html], Docker image for OSX), but it failed on depends_on('callpath'), if I "spack install callpath", it fails and gives the same error "==> Error: '<' not supported between instances of 'NoneType' and 'str'".
I suppose this is a problem with callpath.

Research direction
Start by reproducing spack install callpath in the Docker image for OSX, following the linked Spack packaging tutorial and the failing depends_on('callpath') step. Trace the reported NoneType/string comparison to determine whether the callpath package metadata or Spack environment causes it; done means the package installs without this error.
