OK, thanks. Good that you brought it upstream, but a bit unfortunate that there wasn't an issue in debbugs. Is there a policy regarding known unbuildable packages? Perhaps there could be a mechanism that would spare users from attempting to have the un-buildable build, which may involve stopping a `guix package -u` or a `guix package -m manifest-file` in its tracks ... -- Thorsten Wilms
