As a stop-gap measure, I’ve worked around the problem in commit d759cf6, which removes the dependency from texinfo to gettext.
(Éric: I see one test failure in texi2html, which is a priori unrelated to the change. Could you check what’s going on?) m...@netris.org skribis: > In the short term, it might help to move (gnu packages gcc) into > (gnu packages base), and more generally to avoid inheriting from > imported packages, at least among modules that are likely to be > involved in cycles, such as core modules. Merging modules is not really satisfactory either. :-/ Perhaps one possibility would be to reorganize base.scm so that %final-inputs and things it depends on are thunked. Another possibility, probably better, would be to split base into two modules: one that exports the normal package definitions (the first page of base.scm, in terms of C-x n p), and one that exports %final-inputs and related stuff (the second page). Normally the latter will not have to be used directly, except by (guix build-system gnu) and related stuff. WDYT? Thanks, Ludo’.
