[-- Attachment #1.1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 517 bytes --]

Hi Guix,

in updating my profiles through:
/update-profiles.sh
this error message comes up:

WARNING: (#{ g574}#): `freetype' imported from both (guix licenses) and 
(gnu packages fontutils)

I don't know if the second sentence refers to the first one or it is 
another problem:

JavaScript error: resource://gre/modules/LoginManagerChild.jsm, line 
250: NS_ERROR_FAILURE: Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 
(NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIAutoCompleteInput.popup]


thanks for help

Gottfried

Regardless of anything else, this warning reveals improper usage of
modules.

1. freetype is a [license object][1].
2. freetype is a [package object][2].

They are two different objects, so rebinding of variables is not
applicable. To resolve this particular warning, a [module prefix][3] should
be used. The [Guix idiom][4] is to (… #:prefix license:).

Hopefully, this resolves the actual error down the line. I have never
seen one like that.

Those two issues look unrelated to me.

Just make sure you refer to the 'freetype' license via licence:freetype
like Marek wrote.  You can how that's done with 'openssl' in the Guix
source code.

Kind regards
