Hi all ! I'm working on packaging some software. Because I'm not done submitting my patches to the official guix, but I still need to use my new packages I've created a git repo where I push my edits.
I've created a channel to use this git repo instead of the official guix repo. When I tried to run git pull, I got: The following derivation will be built: /gnu/store/saxml7kzw0ndy0s76483gwxhsxm27ybh-profile.drv The following profile hook will be built: /gnu/store/ggkmzkjw6bj75kq45k7p9bv33si8k66f-guix-package-cache.drv building package cache... /builder for `/gnu/store/ggkmzkjw6bj75kq45k7p9bv33si8k66f-guix-package-cache.drv' failed to produce output path `/gnu/store/ljadsvwvqfq7hv6kxr02d3fihgzi8wr6-guix-package-cache' build of /gnu/store/ggkmzkjw6bj75kq45k7p9bv33si8k66f-guix-package-cache.drv failed View build log at '/var/log/guix/drvs/gg/kmzkjw6bj75kq45k7p9bv33si8k66f-guix-package-cache.drv.bz2'. cannot build derivation `/gnu/store/saxml7kzw0ndy0s76483gwxhsxm27ybh-profile.drv': 1 dependencies couldn't be built guix pull: error: build of `/gnu/store/saxml7kzw0ndy0s76483gwxhsxm27ybh-profile.drv' failed The log says: (repl-version 0 1 1) Generating package cache for '/gnu/store/zdv0j5x5dfwr4b6bh8jc9vp818lvd38g-profile'... (exception unbound-variable (value #f) (value "Unbound variable: ~S") (value (python2-prompt-toolkit-1)) (value #f)) python2-prompt-toolkit-1 is a package I removed in the last push in my channel because no other package uses it. I did not install it, nor anything that depend on it (because nothing depends on it). I don't understand why guix feels the need to try to build it. I grepped for 'guix-package-cache' and tried to read the code in guix/channels.scm, but I don't understand. Does anybody have any pointers ? Cheers, Edouard.
