In case it helps, here is my guix pull -l (minus package lists):

Normally ‘guix pull’ is deterministic so attempts to build commit
bfa47f14b1a19150d6ddf149597d16493f69ae6d should either fail or succeed,
but that should be reproducible (FWIW I just tried “guix pull
--commit=bfa47f14b1a19150d6ddf149597d16493f69ae6d” and it works for me.)

In the future, if the problem shows up again, could you please post the
‘guix pull’ output that precedes the “You found a bug” error message?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Hi Ludo,

I did unset GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH between the first and the second attempt so
maybe it was related to some package definition depending on one that was
not yet in the Guix I had. If that was the problem it should be solved
when I finally switch to channels (soon(tm)).

Sorry for the noise.

Best,
Marcel

Hello Marcel,

OK.  Setting GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH normally should cause such problems
though, so perhaps there’s still a Guix bug hiding there.

If you can reproduce the problem by setting GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH, I’d be
interested in getting more details about the issue such as the backtrace
‘guix pull’ printed.

No problem!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
