It should not matter, since I am using "./pre-inst-env" in a current git checkout. But "guix --version" is at 0.14.0-9.bdf0c64, which also has find-long-options. I did a successful reconfigure on February 28. Trying to use the old guix (without ./pre-inst-env), I am also running into trouble: $ guix system reconfigure AE/clementi.scm guix system: error: failed to load 'AE/clementi.scm': AE/clementi.scm:5:0: In procedure allocate-struct: Wrong type argument in position 2: 25 The configuration file looks like this: (use-modules (gnu)) (use-service-modules networking ssh web) (use-package-modules screen ssh vim) (operating-system (host-name "clementi") So line 5 is "operating-system". I think there is a problem with caching somewhere: $ rm -rf ~/.cache $ guix system reconfigure AE/clementi.scm Now things happen. (But they hang when contacting the substitute server.) It has also bitten me in the other direction: When I run "guix system reconfigure...", press "Ctrl-C" immediately, and then run "./pre-inst-env guix system reconfigure...", I get almost the same message: guix system: error: failed to load 'AE/clementi.scm': /home/andreas/guix/AE/clementi.scm:5:0: In procedure allocate-struct: Wrong type argument in position 2: 24 Is this normal? How are users supposed to know they should delete .cache? And when is this actually necessary? Andreas
