Hi, 2019-03-06, Ludovic Courtès:
However, what do /gnu/guix-local-packages/ contain? I suppose
it provides [email protected]?
Yes, it provides [email protected] *plus* its dependency [email protected].
$ tree /gnu/guix-local-packages/ /gnu/guix-local-packages/ ├──
gnu │ └── packages │ ├── libevent.scm │ └──
node.scm └── node-llhttp.patch
Then my guess is that “[email protected]” is ambiguous and that
‘specification->package’ chooses one of the two in a
non-deterministic fashion.
Can you show the output of:
guix package -A node guix package -A node -L
/gnu/guix-local-packages
GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH=/gnu/guix-local-packages guix package -A

I note the order of libuv packages varies, but versions are
correct. Also, should one worry about the "source newer than
compiled" messages? I presumed the cached .go files come from the
official channel, hence older than the sources in
/gnu/guix-local-packages.
