guix system reconfigure doesn't work, guix system: error: python-pep8

[contact]

Hi Guix :-)

On Guix System with Linux gnu 5.3.8-gnu #1 SMP 1 x86_64 GNU/Linux,when I 
want 'guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm' it complains with: "guix 
system: error: python-pep8-stdlib-tokenize-compat.patch : correctif 
introuvable"

I have tried to launch again some guix pull, guix package -u but 
whithout success...

How do I can resolve it ?

Thanks in advance, thank you so much for your nice work !

Cheers

Hubert

Try ‘hash guix’ command after ‘guix pull’.  Also post a ‘guix describe’
output here, please.

Hi Oleg ;-)

Thank you, it has worked ! When I launched $ guix describe the 
description was:

$ guix describe
Génération 39	23 nov. 2019 21:44:07	(actuelle)
   guix e8f8637
     URL du dépôt : https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
     branche: master
     commit : e8f863704549445aeace0226bd0028e15d0eec5b

Today, it's exactly the same description. I'm running Linux gnu 
5.3.12-gnu :-)

After guix pull, the guix hash command has apparently been successfully 
launched (no error message).

Then, when thinking to your suggestion to guix describe, I decided to '$ 
sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm' instead of '# guix system 
reconfigure /etc/config.scm' (... which was not working) (Even after a 
'$ guix hash') And it seems to work now...

Maybe, it was not a good practice to launch the reconfiguration always 
under the root account. It was my case and I'll consider the sudo option 
now.

Thanks again for your answer, which was concise and inspiring.
