I think the aforementioned issue is different: it's about store paths that are written within Common Lisp code, which only happens here for the next-gtk-webkit executable. This is not related to SQLite or others, which are visible to the reference scanner. I don't understand how grafting could cause a problem: next-1.3.1-lib would still be present, right? > Furthermore, sqlite might eventually vanish entirely from the closure of > next, as a consequence of changes in a dependency, and at that point > running the GC may remove sqlite and thus break next. =E2=80=98guix pack= =E2=80=99 would > also produce an incomplete pack. If sqlite vanishes from the closure, it means the Next does not need it. Why would it be a problem then? =2D-=20 Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/ --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEUPM+LlsMPZAEJKvom9z0l6S7zH8FAl16FMMACgkQm9z0l6S7 zH98TQf+I6Dmxdn0eoqMRP5RrOa0LPPTqYvTXujvoLCAjcAShKz/Mks58GY7oJG8 xRrBPp2sqAlg+VjZgtnNfTnnIgWSHdhbdZUNwEhJsts28w7ZLALa0B9dIYFyW76g F3HeEpKrBXWP5PKvtTbzmXlY2gyrBH0XDY4C27cN+72lsFP5ffu7jcr4wZYHuuZd y/tC8jQyCvqkJrJK/FsTkscXxSrRZYI7uOWSK+UaBgJ+m2ZZBNmxuOZdvMEPhqdE kjQ5o1EU3x02o1LWZ2r3ItWGZOrQAWU0RvUp/JbH50yJnmiFG+hV/hyCbMIBc8zB ztQjtr8q2MyM3khuHTk9yn6NabD3pA== =1lO0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
