What doesn't work?
The main two issues I'm aware of are...
Issue with "guix pull" from the guix 1.2 version:
https://bugs.debian.org/1001833
The workaround is to first pull to the guix 1.3 commit.
The other issue has to do with incompatible glib versions in guix and
Debian:
https://bugs.debian.org/988260
I'm not aware of a workaround there other than sticking with either Guix
or Debian for the affected packages.
So I'll admit the experience is not absolutely free of surprises, but
that's the generally the case of using any foreign package manager...
If there are other issues specific to the Guix packages in Debian,
please file bugs in the Debian bug tracking system; it's a great way to
contribute back to the community!
live well,
vagrant
