Good thanks for the notification, I didnt expect it takes really long time for it to move from one stage to another thus you see report and the uploaded text are different in what they are saying (because i actually run it and leave for half hour to couple of hours) Since you said these are giving 2 different readings then the issue is with timing, So i kept it for like 24 hour (or more) and now i hope the log make more sense since there are too many fail,warnings..etc https://gofile.io/d/Hy3axx (I couldnt upload the txt file due to size limitation forced on emails) Mark H Weaver: Hi, In your original bug report, you stated that the build was stuck in the 'unpack' phase of the 'icedove' package, and you attached a screenshot showing that phase in-progress. In this later followup message, you're stating something different: that it's getting stuck in an earlier package build, namely while building the 'icecat' source tarball. Note that the 'icedove' package build cannot even begin until after the 'icecat' source tarball has been successfully built, so it seems that you had a fully built 'icecat' source tarball on your system at some point. bo0od writes: > Please try again with '--verbosity=3' [0] so that we can see what it's stuck here: "s|PACKAGES/icecat|PACKAGES/firefox|g; s/GNU Public/Mozilla Public/g; s/GNU Foundation/Mozilla Foundation/g; s/GNU Corporation/Mozilla Corporation/g; s/icecat\.com\>/firefox.com/g; s/IceCat-Spdy/Firefox-Spdy/g; s/icecat-accounts/firefox-accounts/g; s/IceCatAccounts/FirefoxAccounts/g; s|https://www\.mozilla\.org/icecat/?utm_source=synceol|https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/?utm_source=synceol|g; s|www\.gnu\.org/software/gnuzilla/icecat-help|libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:IceCat/Help|g; ' '{}' ';'" (check the uploaded logs, i have done 2 attempts of installing icedove and both stopped at the same place) This part of the process takes a long time, but at least on my Thinkpad X200 system (Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, 8 GB swap), it _does_ eventually finish. Did the build attempt fail on its own, or did you abort it? Thanks, Mark

bug#48331: Emacs' describe-package doesn't work for packages managed by guix
describe-package and list-packages do not show emacs packages, installed with guix. Packages themselves work perfectly fine, but not listed in list-packages and can't be accessed with describe-package. Way to reproduce: guix environment --pure --ad-hoc emacs emacs-treemacs emacs -q M-x treemacs ;; Works fine C-h P treemacs ;; Doesn't work M-x list-packages ;; Doesn't list treemacs Played around with it a little bit, still not sure how to solve.

That'd be big if true, we've had the wip-emacs merge between then and now and while that caused a lot of problems to many, it should still open up. Now, perhaps there's a case to be made, that it's in fact broken on another architecture or when not using substitutes (it is not reproducible after all), but atm we're lacking a bit of necessary info here.

bug#48336: kicad cannot see libngspice
In Kicad Eeschema, if I try to use the Tools >> Simulator menu entry, I get an error in a pop-up window that libngspice cannot be found, and then the whole Kicad application closes. I see that libngspice is a dependency of kicad so I'm not quite sure what is wrong. I asked at #kicad at they said that Kicad does not have any gui- adjustable path settings for ngspice or libngspice, so I don't think I have the application configured wrong.

bug#48327: guix system image uses cross-compiler even on native system
Hello Vagrant, > But I'm building this on an aarch64 system; it shouldn't need to use an > aarch64-linux-gnu cross-compiler on an aarch64-linux system! It would be > nice if it could build images natively, too. :) Yes indeed! It has been discussed here: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/45020 without reaching a proper conclusion. The idea of https://issues.guix.gnu.org/45021 is to add a "system" field to the record, so that we can build the image natively when appropriate or cross-compile otherwise. Thanks, Mathieu
