Dear all,
I really love the declarative way of guix system and guix home to
configure my installation.
Unfortunately it often happens that after a guix pull some package
(currently it's python-autopep8) fails to build.
Often this package is just some dependency (and I don't even have
a clue why python-autopep8 is needed by which package).
The problem is now, that due to the transactional manner in wich
guix reconfigure works I get stuck completely.
I can't even change a dotfile (since it's managed by guix) or
install a new package I need.
Of course I could do that manually but that would lead to the
chaos I had before using guix home.
The only solution I see to get my system back to working would be
to undo the guix pull (but is there a way to do that?).
There must be a better strategy to deal with these situations,
like excluding the failing package and it's dependencies to get
updated.
How do you deal with this situation (since it happens quite
often).
Cheers
Alex
