There appear to be some errors in the translations or something on guix master... Take a recent guix master commit, such as: 2bb0d8bf0c51de73b7573982003ca8441e02af6d $ guix shell --container --pure --development guix guix git imagemagick perl less glibc glibc-locales $ export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 $ git clean -dfx $ ./bootstrap && ./configure --localstatedir=/var && make authenticate && make && make dist Which generates an upstream tarball, in my case, guix-1.3.0.8337-2bb0d.tar.gz, nice ... Then I try to build the .deb package for Debian using the tarball, but various guix.*.info pages fail to build following some odd warnings: guix.fa.texi:14464: warning: node `Btrfs file system' unreferenced guix.pt_BR.texi:35375: @include: could not find he-config-bare-bones.scm guix.pt_BR.texi:14537: warning: node `Btrfs file system' unreferenced guix.it.texi:35302: @include: could not find he-config-bare-bones.scm guix.it.texi:14466: warning: node `Btrfs file system' unreferenced make[3]: *** [Makefile:4684: doc/guix.de.info] Error 1 make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... guix.es.texi:37090: @include: could not find he-config-bare-bones.scm guix.es.texi:15281: warning: node `Sistema de archivos Btrfs' unreferenced make[3]: *** [Makefile:5074: doc/guix.pt_BR.info] Error 1 guix.ko.texi:35306: @include: could not find he-config-bare-bones.scm guix.ko.texi:14469: warning: node `Btrfs file system' unreferenced make[3]: *** [Makefile:4814: doc/guix.fa.info] Error 1 make[3]: *** [Makefile:4944: doc/guix.it.info] Error 1 guix.sk.texi:35300: @include: could not find he-config-bare-bones.scm guix.sk.texi:14464: warning: node `Btrfs file system' unreferenced make[3]: *** [Makefile:4749: doc/guix.es.info] Error 1 make[3]: *** [Makefile:5009: doc/guix.ko.info] Error 1 make[3]: *** [Makefile:5204: doc/guix.sk.info] Error 1 guix.fr.texi:37119: @include: could not find he-config-bare-bones.scm make[3]: *** [Makefile:4879: doc/guix.fr.info] Error 1 guix.ru.texi:35795: @include: could not find he-config-bare-bones.scm guix.ru.texi:14933: warning: node `Btrfs file system' unreferenced make[3]: *** [Makefile:5139: doc/guix.ru.info] Error 1 guix.fa.texi:14464: warning: node `Btrfs file system' unreferenced guix.pt_BR.texi:35375: @include: could not find he-config-bare-bones.scm guix.pt_BR.texi:14537: warning: node `Btrfs file system' unreferenced guix.it.texi:35302: @include: could not find he-config-bare-bones.scm guix.it.texi:14466: warning: node `Btrfs file system' unreferenced make[3]: *** [Makefile:4684: doc/guix.de.info] Error 1 make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... guix.es.texi:37090: @include: could not find he-config-bare-bones.scm guix.es.texi:15281: warning: node `Sistema de archivos Btrfs' unreferenced make[3]: *** [Makefile:5074: doc/guix.pt_BR.info] Error 1 guix.ko.texi:35306: @include: could not find he-config-bare-bones.scm guix.ko.texi:14469: warning: node `Btrfs file system' unreferenced make[3]: *** [Makefile:4814: doc/guix.fa.info] Error 1 make[3]: *** [Makefile:4944: doc/guix.it.info] Error 1 guix.sk.texi:35300: @include: could not find he-config-bare-bones.scm guix.sk.texi:14464: warning: node `Btrfs file system' unreferenced make[3]: *** [Makefile:4749: doc/guix.es.info] Error 1 make[3]: *** [Makefile:5009: doc/guix.ko.info] Error 1 make[3]: *** [Makefile:5204: doc/guix.sk.info] Error 1 guix.fr.texi:37119: @include: could not find he-config-bare-bones.scm make[3]: *** [Makefile:4879: doc/guix.fr.info] Error 1 guix.ru.texi:35795: @include: could not find he-config-bare-bones.scm guix.ru.texi:14933: warning: node `Btrfs file system' unreferenced make[3]: *** [Makefile:5139: doc/guix.ru.info] Error 1 No guix.deb for me today... live well, vagrant
