Circular dependency with geeqie

Circular dependency with geeqie

[Andreas Enge]

Hello,

when adding the line
  #:use-module (gnu packages geeqie)
to photo.scm and trying
   guix build libraw
I get a bunch of errors of the form
guix build: warning: failed to load '(gnu packages aarddict)':
ERROR: no binding `lcms' in module (gnu packages ghostscript)
...
guix build: warning: failed to load '(gnu packages unrtf)':
ERROR: In procedure module-lookup: Unbound variable: coreutils
guix build: error: libraw: unknown package

Probably the culprit is the
  #:use-module ((gnu packages ghostscript)
                #:select (lcms))
in geeqie.scm, as discussed previously. Should this be changed to be a
#:prefix?

I noticed the same and removed the ‘#:select’ part to make it work for
me.  Why would a #:prefix be required?

Good question - I just thought the #:select was there for a reason, like
avoiding a clash of variable names. This does not seem to be the case;
I just followed your suggestion, and things work. I will commit this
modification.

Thanks!
