Hi Simon, Thanks for the reply! The commit where I see this error is 6623999c51788db9107142ea899de81ff751b0a4, though I'm sure that it must have started at an earlier commit. Interestingly, when I make a fresh new clone of the Guix repo I do not encounter this error, so I think I must have broken something in my initial clone. After sending the first email in this thread, I found and ran the `make maintainer-clean` target but that didn't seem to clear up the issue either.
At any rate, I'm able to write package definitions in my new clone at the moment so I'm not blocked anymore!
