Problem with guix pull (error when generating cashe for a package)

Problem with guix pull (error when generating cashe for a package)

[Todor Kondić]

Hi,

Doing a pull this morning (guix pull -c4) results in this error:
(repl-version 0 1 1)
Generating package cache for '/gnu/store/9h588g8m8rz57yy465gi32m0822s1nsd-profile'...
(exception unbound-variable (value #f) (value "Unbound variable: ~S") (value (r-preprocesscore)) (value #f))

I thought this is odd, because no R programs are in my default profile. I also do not think those listed below depend on r-preprocesscore:

guix package -I:
markdown
pigz
whois
recordmydesktop
git
angband
gnucash
crawl
crawl-tiles
w3m
gimp
stellarium
celestia
tuxpaint
adb

*** end list of installed packages ***




Another interesting thing is that when,

guix package -r gnucash

I get,

guix package: warning: Your Guix installation is 26 days old.
guix package: warning: Consider running 'guix pull' followed by
'guix package -u' to get up-to-date packages and security updates.

guix package: error: package 'gnucash' not found in profile

*** end of remove gnucash output ***


I do have other profiles laying around, but they should not matter in this case, should they?

About the second issue (gnucash), just to be more precise, guix lists gnucash as installed in the default .guix-profile profile, but when trying to remove it "guix package -r gnucash" returns the error (gnucash not found in profile).

What is your output of “guix describe”?

What is your output of “guix package -l”?


All the best,

Hello,

I solved the first issue. The r-preprocessorcore package has probably been moved to a different module (bioconductor) and one of the packages in my custom channel depending on it just needed to be updated with an additional use-module entry.

As for the second problem, I wiped the entire system recently, so I cannot comment any further on this :)
