Package: guile-1.6-slib Version: 1.6.8-6 Severity: normal There is a bug somewhere between (including) guile-1.6 and slib. it results in strange behavior of the array? function, which as i understand should not accept lists as arrays. (this ruins a sort on a list - i stumbled over this bug when i tried it)
it is trivially posible to solve this (with regard to the sort)
by replacing the
(require 'sort)
with
(load "/usr/pkg/share/slib/array.scm")
(load "/usr/pkg/share/slib/sort.scm")
Of course, this solution is nonportable and the error might occur somewhere
else, too.
here is a transcript:
