Hi!

I'm having problems with 'guix import' in my environment:
$guix import hackage -t ghc-events
Syntax error: unexpected token : common (at line 44, column 0)
Syntax error: unexpected end of input
guix import: error: failed to download cabal file for package 'ghc-events'

so I cloned guix, and:

guix environment guix --pure --ad-hoc help2man git strace --container
make check TESTS=tests/hackage.scm

(I need to add --container for a problem that I address in another
email, can be ignored)

I found that two tests are failing with similar error:

Syntax error: unexpected token : (ghc-options (-Wall)) (at line 11, column 2)
Syntax error: unexpected end of input

;;; (fail #f #f)
test-name: hackage->guix-package test mixed layout
location: ./tests/hackage.scm:295
source:
+ (test-assert
+   "hackage->guix-package test mixed layout"
+   (eval-test-with-cabal
+     test-cabal-mixed-layout
+     match-ghc-foo))
actual-value: #f
result: XFAIL

Syntax error: unexpected token : (buildable (False)) (at line 12, column 4)
Syntax error: unexpected end of input

;;; (fail #f #f)

+   (eval-test-with-cabal
+     test-cabal-flag-executable
+     match-ghc-foo))
actual-value: #f
result: XFAIL

I'm using guix 5f9b28b231e17749d14a1b95ae9cad68d7315a1e on top of and
old ubuntu, with all packages upgraded.

How can I start a debugger?

I tried several variations of:

guile -l scripts/guix
and then
(main '("import" "hackage" "ghc-events"))

with out success.

I'm interested in checking the tests and the package that fails.

COD.
