Indeed, apologies for the breakage.

I think the patch below fixes it.  It incurs overhead only when a
symlink is encountered, which is reasonable I think.

Chris & Alex: could you give it a try and report back?

Thanks in advance,

Fixed in 87941d1df473511f0f75737e81a51a106132c9de.

This is due to a difference in how Guile 2.0 handles nested modules:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
$ guix environment --ad-hoc guile@2.0 guile2.0-guix --pure -- guile

[...]

scheme@(guile-user)> ,m (gnu system)
scheme@(gnu system)> shadow
$1 = #
scheme@(gnu system)> (version)
$2 = "2.0.14"
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

versus:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
$ guix environment --ad-hoc guile guix --pure -- guile

[...]

scheme@(guile-user)> ,m (gnu system)

Thanks for the heads-up,

It could be a portability bug in a new ‘scandir*’ procedure (see commit

Why did you remove the (replacement #f) fields from glibc-2.24,
glibc-2.23, glibc-2.22, and glibc-2.21?  Keeping the inherited
replacements will never do the right thing here, because the inherited
replacement will always be for a newer version of glibc.

It would be nice to have things arranged in such a way that we can
simply add a replacement for 'glibc/linux', when needed.  We did that
work for CVE-2017-1000366.  It would be good not to revert that work,
to facilitate future security updates.

More generally, I think we need to give more thought to how to handle
'replacement' fields when we inherit packages, in order to do the right
thing when the inherited package is grafted.  One way is to override
(replacement #f).  Another is to use the 'package/inherit' macro from
(guix packages), which applies the same overrides to the replacement.
I can't think of a case where it's proper to leave the 'replacement'
unchanged when inheriting a package.

What do you think?

I see this too, especially since the glibc graft, because all packages
are now grafted.  Here’s a package I have just built with “guix build
axoloti”.  Then I go offline and try to install it:

Update: Sometimes even --fallback does not help, and Guix still tries to
build stuff when I think it doesn't need to.

[PATCH] fpm2 package derivation

[Thomas Sigurdsen]

Hi, just managed to make this work, ran it through guix lint and think it
should be allright. With that said I'm more than happy for feedback seeing as
I'm a guile newbie and never contributed much to anything before (even though
my papers say I have training as a programmer :P ).

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'll go ahead: the previous
version that did not build was this:

https://notabug.org/thomassgn/guixsd-configuration/src/8dd3f613371b7f1ab28111f061f6735646174ee0/modules/tms/fpm2.scm

I don't understand why this did not work and the working definition does. I
arrived at the new working definition by looking at the definition of xfig
and nvi (also in gnu/packages/).

Quite happy just making this derivation install through guix!

Re: 01/01: gnu: glibc/linux: Add patches for CVE-2017-1000366.

[Mark H Weaver]

Another problem with this commit is that it fails to add
"glibc-vectorized-strcspn-guards.patch", so it will fail to build on
i686, as described in .

Also, it leaves the 'patches' fields in glibc-2.24, glibc-2.23,
glibc-2.22, and glibc-2.21.  Those should be removed.

I'll fix it up.
