The old =E2=80=98guix pull=E2=80=99 didn=E2=80=99t now about the gnu.scm fi=
le, hence the error
(this was fixed in June, in commit 9d0b8fbd.)

That means you have to actually run =E2=80=98guix pull=E2=80=99 from 0.7, o=
r from a
recent checkout.

The fact that =E2=80=98guix pull=E2=80=99 can potentially break for some fu=
ture version
is unfortunate.  It would be ideal if instead of using its own build
recipe, it would use one from the tarball.

I=E2=80=99ll see how this can be fixed.

(Cc: bug-guix so the bug is recorded.)

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
