error: %ensure-setuid-program-list: unbound variable

error: %ensure-setuid-program-list: unbound variable

Hello Guix,

I have a guix.scm file in which I depend on the guix package.

When building this package with autotools I see the following error when
compiling my guile modules:

error: %ensure-setuid-program-list: unbound variable

I'm not using that symbol anywhere in my own code, but probably somehow
through a guix module I load.

So, I guess this is due the guix package being pinned to
9a2ddcc8f5a6f64b475eeb13a3f1034aa6a4a49a, committed on Wed Jul 31 16:49:04
2024 +0200 still referring to that symbol

It looks like this variable gets updated from time to time. Would it make
sense to do this again, to avoid this error?

Wdyt?

Thanks, Roman.

This sounds like an ABI mismatch.

‘%ensure-setuid-program-list’ is a private binding that was used by a
macro in (gnu system) and got removed in
0dffb851e0feced94742ad024f245b925c503fa2.

Most likely ‘make clean-go && make’ in your Guix tree fixes it?

Hi Ludo,

the error seems to be gone now. I'm not sure if it is because you
updated the commit a while ago, or because I also cleaned ~/.cache/guix
folder while trying to fix this.

Thanks for your help.

Which commit was updated by Ludo' and when?

(I'm responsible for the setuid-* removal and any possible breakage, hence my interest.)

So you're not invoking Guix from a local Git checkout?

This is the commit I was talking about, from a week ago:

80709f1411af2e8f627da2e41791abf085347642

No, I wasn't using a local checkout. I was using the Guix from my user
profile and then I run guix shell (with and without --pure) with the
following guix.scm file:

https://github.com/asahi-guix/channel/blob/main/guix.scm#L46

This guix.scm file has the guix package as a dependency, and my thinking
was that this must pull in old code, because at the time I had the issue
the guix package pointed to a commit before the change to
%ensure-setuid-program-list.

At some point I also deleted ~/.cache/guix and pulled guix multiple
times and the issue went away. But I'm not sure how that happened.

I think all is good now. I haven't seen this issue anymore.
