Hi,

Leo: Aha, yes you are right. I copy+pasted, and didn't realize those 
[source]
bits referred to fields in a recipe... Now I do, thanks! :)

Sure, I bring to you, two patches this time. One for master, and one for
core-updates. Not sure how to name the patch files properly, so I just 
put
branch name at the end.

Ludo: I like nitpicking ;)

I checked the packages with `guix refresh -l`, output below:

No dependents other than itself: eigensoft-6.1.2-1.b14d1e202
No dependents other than itself: snap-aligner-1.0beta.18
No dependents other than itself: pardre-1.1.5
No dependents other than itself: piranha-1.2.1-1.0466d364b
No dependents other than itself: hypre-2.11.0
No dependents other than itself: mpc123-0.2.4
No dependents other than itself: tuxguitar-1.3.2
No dependents other than itself: impressive-0.11.1

$ guix refresh -l bwa@0.7.12
   A single dependent package: bamm-1.7.3

$ guix refresh -l qemu@2.7.0
   Building the following 2 packages would ensure 5 dependent packages 
are
   rebuilt: virt-manager-1.4.0 python-libvirt-2.0.0



Let me know if there are any more issues.


Best,
Petter
