guix pull: error: build of `/gnu/store/njrsv4nw8v750zn6ajdcn8495592q6jb-compute-guix-derivation.drv' failed

While trying to upgrade guix, I did encounter to this error:

root@timelinex:~# guix pull

guile: warning: failed to install locale

hint: Consider installing the `glibc-utf8-locales' or `glibc-locales'

package and defining `GUIX_LOCPATH', along these lines:

     guix package -i glibc-utf8-locales

     export GUIX_LOCPATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale"

See the "Application Setup" section in the manual, for more info.

Hi,

I got the exact same error, but with time-machine, when travelling

from 1.1.0 to 29091731a0c6cb649cdfd72297575fe2bb2a9591 (actually,

29091731a0c6cb649cdfd72297575fe2bb2a9591 + a patch, but that probably

does not matter).

TBI ...

Greetings,

Maxime.

The only use of 'module-re-export!' in current Guix is

(module-re-export! (current-module) '(delete) #:replace? #t)

from (guix packages).

Probably the issue is that 'module-re-export!' did not always support

#:replace?, and that 1.1.0 uses an old version of Guile with the old

calling convention when computing the derivation ... (I don't know

if these details are actually true, it's a bit of a guess.)

I guess the patch from e89f767ce8990f4959616031e3c98fbfe92a008b, while

fixing time-travelling from v1.2.0 to current Guix, broke time-

travelling from v1.1.0 to current Guix.

The extra argument of module-re-export! was introduced with commit

cf08dbdc189f0005cab6f2ec7b23ed9d150ec43d in Guile. It seems like the

first Guile version after this commit is v2.2.7. Let's try

making the '#:replace? ...' conditional upon Guile>2.2 ...

I think I have a fix, see attached patch. Currently it's at ‘building

...-module-import-compiled.drv’ (97%).

Hi,

Maxime Devos <maximedevos@telenet.be> skribis:

Woow, great investigative work! I’ve applied the patch now.

I’d really like to have that tested in continuous integration…

Thanks!
