<sidetrack/> Oh that's a nice way of doing this, better than my hack to print the config, I'll have to remember the `guix gc -R' flag. > > And what I see in this file is now: > > namespace inbox { > type=private > separator= > prefix= > location= > inbox=yes > hidden=no > list=yes > subscriptions=yes > mailbox "Drafts" { > auto=no > special_use=\Drafts > } > mailbox "Junk" { > auto=no > special_use=\Junk > } > mailbox "Trash" { > auto=no > special_use=\Trash > } > mailbox "Sent" { > auto=no > special_use=\Sent > } > mailbox "Sent Messages" { > auto=no > special_use=\Sent > } > mailbox "Drafts" { > auto=no > special_use=\Drafts > } > } > > Notice that location is empty. So that's at least different to your > findings, on latest commit. Can you still reproduce? Yeah I'm afraid I still see the same issue after a `git pull` just now: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ~/code/guix [env]$ ./pre-inst-env guix system build -e '(@@ (gnu tests mail) %dovecot-os)' /gnu/store/ayfvf5s561q955kv8wrkklrvq3ga3qpy-system ~/code/guix [env]$ guix gc -R /gnu/store/ayfvf5s561q955kv8wrkklrvq3ga3qpy-system | grep dovecot\.conf | xargs grep "^location" location=#<<location> file: "gnu/tests/mail.scm" line: 297 column: 20> --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Have you tried to rebuild from scratch, after a `make clean-go'? When first bisecting this, I was working from the git repo and couldn't reproduce the bug. Then it worked by using `guix time-machine' to bisect rather than work from git. So I'm guessing the change being in a macro, there could be residue .go files that need recompiling? Thanks, Pierre
