Hi Chris, and sorry for the delay!

This means that we’re trying to invoke #<unspecified>, but
#<unspecified> is not a procedure.
Note that this is from within ‘run-to-store’, which is the procedure to
“run” a monadic value. So in effect, what happened is equivalent to:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(guile-user)> ,use(guix monads)
scheme@(guile-user)> ,use(guix store)
scheme@(guile-user)> (with-store s
(run-with-store s *unspecified*))
ERROR: In procedure #<unspecified>:
ERROR: Wrong type to apply: #<unspecified>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The bug here is in fact a type error: ‘run-with-store’ expect a monadic
value, but what we have here is a regular value.
To “fix” it, we need:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(guile-user)> (with-store s
(run-with-store s
(with-monad %store-monad (return *unspecified*))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
… where ‘return’ procedure a monadic value from a normal value.
In your case, ‘list-generations’ is not a monadic procedure (a procedure
that returns a monadic value), so in this patch:
(run-with-store store
…
(list-generations))
… triggers this very type error.
I imagine this may be more than you wanted to learn. ;-)
Monads in a dynamically typed setting are kinda annoying because of
this.

As the comment above suggests, the idea here was to avoid connecting to
the daemon for operations that do not need it, such as
‘list-generations’. I think we should preserve this property.
Thanks for your work! I’m sorry this is more painful than I thought.
