Howdy! So, mysterious things seem to happen on my machines - yes, that's right, i managed to reproduce the following behaviour. But see yourself:
Guix pull fails (has guix-past been rebased or force-pushed?) gabriel@silvi ~$ guix pull Updating channel 'guix' from Git repository at 'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git'... Updating channel 'gabber' from Git repository at 'https://git.sr.ht/~gabber/gabber-channel'... Updating channel 'nonguix' from Git repository at 'https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix'...

Updating channel 'guix-past' from Git repository at 'https://codeberg.org/guix-science/guix-past.git'... guix pull: error: aborting update of channel 'guix-past' to commit f99ada4123de1eadf668d34dac2d726407634549, which is not a descendant of 5fb77cce01f21a03b8f5a9c873067691cf09d057 hint: This could indicate that the channel has been tampered with and is trying to force a roll-back, preventing you from getting the latest updates. If you think this is not the case, explicitly allow non-forward updates. So i investigate: gabriel@silvi ~$ guix describe Generation 21 Oct 23 2024 22:56:15 (current) guix 5f4ba1c repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git branch: master commit: 5f4ba1c09fa0fba1ed230b80bae9f6a4d0d2d303 gabber 20f7905 repository URL: https://git.sr.ht/~gabber/gabber-channel branch: trunk commit: 20f7905206826e0d110cab57974b3426683ac814 nonguix ad966c3 repository URL: https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix branch: master commit: ad966c3844385e8f7b60b0dc915f92a1eba47e09 guix-gaming-games 5762eda repository URL: https://gitlab.com/guix-gaming-channels/games.git branch: master commit: 5762eda50230715555da5beb0f4d06a5456bb5c0 guix-past 5fb77cc repository URL: https://gitlab.inria.fr/guix-hpc/guix-past branch: master commit: 5fb77cce01f21a03b8f5a9c873067691cf09d057 Weirdly enough, guix-past is not im my channels configuration (which is managed by guix home): gabriel@silvi ~$ cat .config/guix/channels.scm (list (channel (name 'guix) (url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git") (branch "master") (introduction (make-channel-introduction "9edb3f66fd807b096b48283debdcddccfea34bad" (openpgp-fingerprint "BBB0 2DDF 2CEA F6A8 0D1D E643 A2A0 6DF2 A33A 54FA")))) (channel (name 'gabber) (url "https://git.sr.ht/~gabber/gabber-channel") (branch "trunk")) (channel (name 'nonguix) (url "https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix") (branch "master") (introduction (make-channel-introduction "897c1a470da759236cc11798f4e0a5f7d4d59fbc" (openpgp-fingerprint "2A39 3FFF 68F4 EF7A 3D29 12AF 6F51 20A0 22FB B2D5")))) (channel (name 'guix-gaming-games) (url "https://gitlab.com/guix-gaming-channels/games.git") (branch "master") (introduction (make-channel-introduction "c23d64f1b8cc086659f8781b27ab6c7314c5cca5" (openpgp-fingerprint "50F3 3E2E 5B0C 3D90 0424 ABE8 9BDC F497 A4BB CC7F"))))) And even pulling with explicitly stating the channels file (which i thought would **only** pull the channels described in said file) fails pulling guix-past -- which is *not* part of that very file: gabriel@silvi ~$ guix pull --channels=!$ guix pull --channels=.config/guix/channels.scm Updating channel 'guix' from Git repository at 'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git'...

If you think this is not the case, explicitly allow non-forward updates. Needless to say, `guix-past' is (seemingly) defined nowhere on my system. gabriel@silvi ~$ sudo cat /etc/guix/channels.scm (list (channel (name (quote guix)) (url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git") (branch "master") (introduction (make-channel-introduction "9edb3f66fd807b096b48283debdcddccfea34bad" (openpgp-fingerprint "BBB0 2DDF 2CEA F6A8 0D1D E643 A2A0 6DF2 A33A 54FA"))))) Any ideas where this is coming from and/or how i can work around this issue? Or where /else/ i could look. Thanks for any input! gabber
