I see, sorry for the misunderstanding. Honestly, I'm not sure how to do it.

When it >tries to build the derivation the sha256 mismatch aborts the upgrade. That's weird: enchant should be replaced everywhere and build with the new source, it shouldn't even look for a hash. The file is available at the ci server though, so maybe check your substitute servers? You can download it directly at https://ci.guix.gnu.org/nar/wsyfm5avik0wvh82gyxw9acbixp0ygbp-enchant-2.2.5.tar.gz I'll update to 2.2.7 when I have access to my gpg key, so the problem should be fixed after that. The 2.2.5 release was made twice by accident, which overwrote the old tarball. The new 2.2.5 tarball actually is the 2.2.6 release. See https://github.com/AbiWord/enchant/pull/221 fos details. > >> Good night, and good luck :) > >Have a good sleep! >and really thank you for answering!
