My description of the bug was hasty. The viewer is still broken in the same way, but I realize now that the text is not invisible or unselectable. Rather, selection still works but only displays selection markers at the upper left corner of the screen. According to a bug report about Calibre,

After looking into what I think was core-updates(-frozen), I am running into a wall in the form of glib-networking, which blocks my attempts to build Calibre on many commits. However, I did find another merge which may be of interest: b029be2ee0f81cdcbc14240ff426408085ab0a40. One side of it,

The substitutes to install Calibre 5.36 updated, so I gave it a try today. The issue exists there too, suggesting further that the problem is in the dependencies somewhere. I haven't come across a working revision with Calibre 5.14 in my bisecting expeditions yet, but I suspect some of those would

I realize that the conversation has been continuing outside the bug tracker. 9d25ee30b188f9202cc14f7cd25ba8a1c3ec1a72 has a working version of Calibre 5.21.0. 6dffced09ecda024e0884e352778c221ad066fd6 is the commit where it broke. That's a big merge commit, and Calibre is only broken in one of the

Calibre's main window is unaffected, but it's impossible to read any EPUBs in the viewer. The text in both the book and the settings is affected. Images show up. I don't remember if I noticed this before or after the bit QtWebKit removal a few weeks ago. It would be a strange root cause but is

I've been able to reproduce it consistently across multiple Guix versions and after daemon/system. Seems like a bug in my install but not sure where since my Guix binaries are from the substitute. Probably a better thread for help-guix, thanks for the help!

Yes, though interestingly I can't reproduce in a development tree at the commit used when I submitted the report (9f9520a1299fccd8508d03ce0c9280c6e0030207). In summary: Error occurs: 1. In 9f9520a1299fccd8508d03ce0c9280c6e0030207 2. In 00386d3430f12710997f17091a55c07323ff138c 3. In

Noticed the problem with cl-slime-swank, but seems to happen with a variety of packages including sbcl-cl-uglify-js itself. I checked javascript.scm, which does import lisp-xyz; Haven't done any deeper debugging to discover possible causes. Backtrace follows. $ guix package

To reproduce, just guix environment --ad-hoc ghc -- ghci. ghc@8.4.3 works. Seems like this may be related to some Prelude changes upstream (https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/16563), but I'm not familiar enough with GHC internals to really tell what's going on. Interestingly, when I try to

I noticed this bug a while back but didn't think to submit it to debbugs and didn't make the connection to the 2->3 transition. Happy to help you hunt this one, and may take a look in that direction now that you've set me on an unexplored path.
