I am aware of that, as I pointed out earlier in the thread.

(gnunet-gtk):

    (arguments
         `(#:configure-flags
                (list "--without-libunique"
                      "--with-qrencode"
                      (string-append "--with-gnunet="
                                     (assoc-ref %build-inputs "gnunet")))))

Maybe also racket, at least libunique-1.0 appears in its definition, I
have no desire to understand its meaning in there now.
I'd like to have libunique available for gnunet-gtk, but I also have planned
to address some further questions to other gnunet developers about
dependencies I found in the last year packaging it, so it might or might
not be necessary.
