Today I hit an error in this line. The problem there is that root_matches is a dictionary mapping concrete specs to abstract specs, but it is indexed with an integer.
I hit this while attempting to use matching_spec() in #22657, but you can also make it happen using the spack location command (or probably any command that uses spack.cmd.matching_spec_from_env(spec)).
Steps to reproduce the issue
It seems you need to have an environment where a particular package appears both as a root and a dependency (so concretized separately), but that might not be the complete necessary/sufficient set of conditions. To create an example problem environment:
$ spack env create foo
$ spack env activate foo
$ spack add readline
$ spack add ncurses ~termlib
$ spack concretize
Now the foo environment contains two ncurses specs.
Error Message
To cause the error:
