This is the error after the stacktrace

guix/scripts/lint.scm:376:16: In procedure validate-uri:
guix/scripts/lint.scm:376:16: In procedure module-lookup: Unbound variable:
make-session

What Git commit does this happen on? Can you share the exact sequence of
commands that cause the error?

Leo, thank you so much for your concern, I should have clarified this
earlier

I found the solution

If I try to lint a package INSIDE an environment made with "guix
environment guix" this doesn't happen and the linting succeeds

I thought that "pre-inst-env" was setting things so that the right Guile
was automagically being called even outside of an environment. I was wrong.

I was confused because I had a Fedora Guile that I didn't remember about so
that one got called when outside of an environment and I wasn't realizing
that. I thought it was the right one that was being called

So A Fedora Guile was used to dlopen a Guix gnutls and that's a mix with a
bad karma; Ludo explained that in this post
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2016-06/msg00069.html
(thanks to Jlicht for this link)

When I removed it, no Guile could be found when outside of an environment
so that made me realize the mistake that I had been doing until then.

I have the same experience while linting on Debian. I don't know if it
should be considered a bug or not.
