Hello, I have found an interesting bug with guix.

When I try to import ~yasnippet~ from melpa, the command is unable to find the 'refs/remotes/origin/HEAD'.

How to reproduce:

#+begin_src shell :results output :epilogue ":"
guix import elpa -a melpa yasnippet 2>&1
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
Backtrace:

(description
" Basic steps to setup:

(add-to-list 'load-path \"~/path-to-yasnippet\") (require
'yasnippet) (yas-global-mode 1)


Interesting variables are:

`yas-snippet-dirs'

The directory where user-created snippets are to be stored.
Can also be a list of directories. In that case, when used for bulk
(re)loading of snippets (at startup or via `yas-reload-all'),
directories appearing earlier in the list override other dir's
snippets. Also, the first directory is taken as the default for
storing the user's new snippets.

The deprecated `yas/root-directory' aliases this variable
for backward-compatibility.


Major commands are:

M-x yas-expand

Try to expand snippets before point. In `yas-minor-mode',
this is normally bound to TAB, but you can customize it in
`yas-minor-mode-map'.

M-x yas-load-directory

Prompts you for a directory hierarchy of snippets to load.

M-x yas-activate-extra-mode

Prompts you for an extra mode to add snippets for in the
current buffer.

M-x yas-insert-snippet

Prompts you for possible snippet expansion if that is
possible according to buffer-local and snippet-local expansion
conditions. With prefix argument, ignore these conditions.

M-x yas-visit-snippet-file

Prompts you for possible snippet expansions like
`yas-insert-snippet', but instead of expanding it, takes you directly
to the snippet definition's file, if it exists.

M-x yas-new-snippet

Lets you create a new snippet file in the correct
subdirectory of `yas-snippet-dirs', according to the active major
mode.

M-x yas-load-snippet-buffer

When editing a snippet, this loads the snippet. This is
bound to \"C-c C-c\" while in the `snippet-mode' editing mode.

M-x yas-tryout-snippet

When editing a snippet, this opens a new empty buffer, sets
it to the appropriate major mode and inserts the snippet there, so you
can see what it looks like. This is bound to \"C-c C-t\" while in
`snippet-mode'.

M-x yas-describe-tables

Lists known snippets in a separate buffer. User is prompted
as to whether only the currently active tables are to be displayed, or
all the tables for all major modes.

If you have `dropdown-list' installed, you can optionally use it as the
preferred \"prompting method\", putting in your .emacs file, for example:

(require 'dropdown-list) (setq yas-prompt-functions
'(yas-dropdown-prompt yas-ido-prompt
yas-completing-prompt))

Also check out the customization group

M-x customize-group RET yasnippet RET

If you use the customization group to set variables `yas-snippet-dirs' or
`yas-global-mode', make sure the path to \"yasnippet.el\" is present in the
`load-path' *before* the `custom-set-variables' is executed in your .emacs
file.
