When running biber the following error appears:
ERROR - Error: Found biblatex control file version 3.5, expected version
3.4.
This means that your biber (2.11) and biblatex (3.12) versions are
incompatible.
See compat matrix in biblatex or biber PDF documentation.

Not long ago, I did this:
commit 40fd909e3ddee2c46a27a4fe92ed49d3e7ffb413
Author: Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>
Date: Fri Apr 24 16:17:38 2020 +0200
gnu: biber: Downgrade to 2.11.
Biber 2.12 is incompatible with biblatex 3.11, which is what's currently
packaged. This is a followup to 41a010875ba4108e666f11fc111cf5bb5dcf5464.
* gnu/packages/tex.scm (biber): Downgrade to 2.11.
However, it seems that biblatex has been updated in the meantime.
Could you check whether reverting the commit above fixes the problem for
you?
Thanks,
Ludo’.

We should add a comment to the biber package toqwarn about this. Wdyt?

Yes, reverting 40fd909e3ddee2c46a27a4fe92ed49d3e7ffb413 seems to fix the
problem.
I have no idea why biber's test suite doesn't check that biblatex
version is compatible.
Can we add guix-specific check, so the package would fail to build if
similar thing happens?

OK, I’ll push the revert shortly.

I don’t know why Biber’s test suite doesn’t do the relevant check, but I
don’t think we can it by ourselves. There’s a biber/biblatex
compatibility matrix in the biblatex documentation:
http://ctan.math.washington.edu/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex/doc/biblatex.pdf
(Linked from <https://ctan.org/pkg/biblatex>.) I guess we just need to
double-check that when updating. I’ve added a comment in the code.
Thanks!
