After a recent guix pull, I'm getting tracebacks when attempting to run
guix challenge.

I tried switching subsititues to a local caching proxy, not sure if that
could possibly break anything. But after switching back to using the
substitutes directly, the problem still persists.

$ guix --version
guix (GNU guix) 1fa37d1b55b1d25a9d20c7b50a531b763e7a1398

$ guix challenge --substitute-urls="https://berlin.guixsd.org https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org" linux-libre

Hi Vagrant,

Vagrant Cascadian <vagrant@debian.org> skribis:

> $ guix --version
> guix (GNU guix) 1fa37d1b55b1d25a9d20c7b50a531b763e7a1398

It looks like my repo lacks this commit.

This is due to an ABI breakage in the (web uri) module that Guile
provides: in 2.2.3 ‘uri?’ is a procedure, but in 2.2.2 it’s a macro.

As it turns out, build-aux/build-self.scm (which is what ‘guix pull’
evaluates) selects the latest Guile 2.2.x, so it builds with 2.2.3, but
then you run that code with 2.2.2, hence the error.

Let’s see how we can work around it…

I’ve pushed a workaround as commit

Thanks,
