Hello Glad you managed to make your report work. The _ could not be used anymore because in guile-3.0 it is a reserved symbol. Many modern Linux distros had moved to guile-3.0 necessitating this change. This change is not limited to experimental reports; all custom reports using _ were similarly affected. If you're willing to share your customised owner-report.scm we can certainly add new features. If possible we'll add a guile-2.2 specific shim to pass _ through (and encourage its change to G_). C
