Hi,

I'm getting this error:

········································
$ guix package -i guile-picture-language
guix package: error: guile-picture-language: unknown package
········································

As far as I can tell, my Guix version is up to date:

········································
$ guix --version
guix (GNU Guix) 0.16.0-9.4bddd12
Copyright (C) 2019 the Guix authors

········································

It happens only with this package. I can install other packages normally.

What could this be? Are you able to install guile-picture-language?

update your guix version with "guix pull": it's not enough up to date

yes, that's because - looking at git logs - guile-picture-language was
added with commit 6bb5f88e1 on Sun Feb 3 01:37:12 2019 +0100 while your
guix commit (4bddd12) is dated Mon Jan 28 23:13:41 2019 +0100

guix is moving fast :-)

> What could this be? Are you able to install guile-picture-language?

yes, I was able to install precompiled from the default subsitutes
servers

this is my guix description:

Actually, I did "guix pull" and "guix package -u" before trying to 
install the package.

The error makes sense, then :)

What doesn't make sense in my case is that I just ran "guix pull" and 
"guix package -u" again (both as root and user), but when I run "guix 
--version", I get the same version I posted yesterday:

········································
guix --version

Also, this is what "guix describe" tells me:

········································
$ guix describe
guix describe: error: failed to determine origin
········································

Hi,

make sure  that guix is not installed in your profile (so guix package 
-u wouldn't "update" it) and that you run guix from 
~/.config/guix/current/bin (check with `which guix`). If it's not the 
case, add ~/.config/guix/current/bin to the beginning of your $PATH. 
That should ensure that you actually run the guix that was installed 
with guix pull.

Make sure that you’re in fact using the updated version of Guix.  “which
guix” should tell you that you’re using
“~/.config/guix/current/bin/guix”.  If that’s not what it says you may
have to update your PATH to make sure that ~/.config/guix/current/bin/
appears first.

I have the guix package installed in my profile. I use it to access the 
Guix Scheme API. But the problem was related to the PATH variable.

Yeah, that solved the problem. I had a line prepending a different path 
in my configuration.

Thanks for your help everyone,
