I have a hypothesis of what might have happened here. Since the upgrade to version 68, the IceCat package in GNU Guix is no longer using our system ffmpeg. Although ffmpeg is listed in the 'inputs', "guix gc --references $(guix build icecat)" shows that the built package does not reference it. It must be using the bundled copy of ffmpeg instead. Prior to the upgrade to version 68, the IceCat package in Guix referenced the system ffmpeg library, and that fact was reflected in the output of "guix gc --references". Possibly related: I noticed while debugging this upgrade that the 'link-libxul-with-libraries' phase no longer seems to be doing its job. That's why I needed to add pulseaudio's lib directory to LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the 'wrap-program' phase. I would be grateful for help debugging these issues. I'm very heavily overloaded with other tasks at present, and it may be a few weeks before I can look into this specific bug. Incidentally, I agree that 'important' is an appropriate severity level for this bug. Regards, Mark
