Hi Laura, > I found the reason for this.
Great. > I wanted to take a look at how totem was packaged but I can't find > it. The method I use to track packages is to search at https://guix-hpc.bordeaux.inria.fr/browse In this case a search for 'totem' points to the definition at gnu/packages/gnome.scm, line 3845. If you take a look at the definition you can see how the dependencies are specified. I am not very familiar with the Gnome packages but I could imagine there may be a difference between the Debian list of dependencies and the Guix list. Perhaps your test has revealed a bug in the Guix packaging of totem. Best regards, Paul.
