Subject: glibc-locales package problems (again)
Date: Fri, 27 Dec 2024 17:28:52 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2b53ccefc851531698e7d2e90e3f2b25e7c30a62.camel@proton.me> (raw)


I've been through the list archives and have not found a solution. I
repeatedly get into a state where package updates are failing with the
following messsage(s):

> guix install: error: package glibc-locales@2.37 does not support
x86_64-linux

This is a binary install on Debian 12. I've seen some indication that
there might just be a problem with the package definitions guix-side
and so I tried to manually upgrade past 2.37 like so:

> guix install glibc-locales@2.39

but then I end up with something like this:

> error: #{ %make-platform-procedure/abi-check}#: unbound variable

>   guix          1.4.0-16.aeb4943 → 1.4.0-15.e0885fc

The only solution I have found is to manually uninstall and re-install
guix every couple of weeks. This has been happening for more than a
year and, well, let's just say its getting annoying. ;)

Anyone have any advice? Or, better, a solution?

thx
