security-updates merged

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello!

I’ve just merged ‘security-updates’ into ‘master’.  There are no new
security fixes in there, only the integration of fixes that used to be
available via grafting.

Possibly unrelated, but:

guix$ git pull # master branch
guix$ guix environment guix
guix$ make
...
configure: error: Package requirements (sqlite3 >= 3.6.19) were not met:

No package 'sqlite3' found

Did you notice that according to Danny's transcript above, this error
occurred within a shell spawned by "guix environment guix"?

Oh sorry, I had overlooked that.

I just tried in ‘guix environment guix --container’ and cannot
reproduce.

Danny: could you check with either --container or --pure?  It could be
that some other settings from the outside environment were interfering.

Thanks,

Hi Ludo,

I tried 

  $ guix environment guix --container
  $ ./configure --localstatedir=/var

That works.

Same for  

  $ guix environment guix --container --pure
  $ ./configure --localstatedir=/var

That works.

But

  $ guix environment guix
  $ ./configure --localstatedir=/var

works now too. 

Hmm, I've rebooted since. Sorry for the noise. 

This time when it didn't work, I did

  $ make clean

beforehand so it's not because of obsolete compiled files this time.

Note that in-between (after it didn't work but before your E-Mail) I did

  $ guix environment guix sqlite
  $ ./configure --localstatedir=/var

And that worked, too. If that left some permanent state, it would also be clear why it works now. 

Also, I did guix system reconfigure since then - with the same config (because I wanted my modified cups-service to take effect). (That eventually broke with 503 on texlive).

In any case, I'd suggest to test an eventual GuixSD release by booting it and:

  $ git clone ...guix
  $ guix environment guix
  $ ./configure --localstatedir=/var

and see whether it fails. If it works, good.
