Dear guix,

I cannot add the "guile-3.0" package in any system configuration (the
part that reads (packages (append (list ... %base-packages)))). When I
do that, I get:


$ LANG=C guix system docker-image config.scm
guix system: error: profile contains conflicting entries for guile
guix system: error: first entry: guile@3.0.2
/gnu/store/18hp7flyb3yid3yp49i6qcdq0sbi5l1n-guile-3.0.2
guix system: error: second entry: guile@3.0.4
/gnu/store/ah16zr8mmfkqy23rr7jy5a842ca1q9h1-guile-3.0.4
hint: You cannot have two different versions or variants of `guile' in
the same profile.


The fix would be to deprecate guile-3.0-latest as an alias for guile-
3.0, and use the 3.0.4 version in guile-3.0.

Best regards,

divoplade

Which packages ’config.scm’ contain? Other said, what does the conflict
make happen?

I do not know if an option ’--allow-collisions’ makes sense here.

I have not checked, but this proposal could lead to a world rebuild.

You can try with one of the examples of guix, if you don't want to risk
anything with your config! Here is lightweight-desktop.tmpl, and the
edited lightweight-desktop-with-guile.tmpl.

If you run

guix system docker-image lightweight-desktop-with-guile.tmpl

you get the error.

If you run

guix system docker-image lightweight-desktop.tmpl

it works.

Also, I must say that the problem also happens with any package that
has guile has a propagated input, but the root of the problem seems to
be guile.

With this fix, yes, it leads to a world rebuild, but it was marked in a
TODO anyway. I don't know if it fully solves the problem just yet,
because I'm downloading 400MB of world rebuilding with my connection at
180 KB/s, but I have good hopes!

Subject: [PATCH] gnu: upgrade guile to 3.0.4

It is impossible to have guile-3.0 installed as a package in the system
configuration, because it is incompatible with guile-3.0-latest which is used
by the system (see bug 44452). By having the same version, it works.

Hi divoplade,

It is marked as a TODO exactly because it causes a world rebuild.
guile-3.0 will presumably be updated on the next core-updates merge,
where world rebuilds are acceptable, so be a bit patient until then and
use guile-3.0-latest, please :)
(Note, that you should also get guile-3.0-latest from specification-

That's not presumably, that's indeed fixed in core-updates! Sorry, I
did not see it.

So it will be fixed when core-updates is merged.

Yes.

And yes.


Somehow, the question are:

1. Is it a real error for the ending profile?
2. If no, does the option ’--allow-collisions’ make sense here?

And ’it’ means uses ’guile-3.0’ instead of ’guile-3.0-latest’ in the
list.

You're right! I just filtered out guile-3.0-latest from %base-packages
and it works!

Thank you.

The problem is there until core-updates is merged. The workaround that
I use appears to work, but I guess it's not something that is intended.

I hope it makes things a little clearer ^^

If the problem is fixed in core-updates, then the problem is fixed. :-)
No need to wait the merge to close this bug. IMHO.

Moreover, %base-packages already contains Guile (’guile-3.0-latest’),
therefore I am not sure to understand what the bug is about
specifically. As I said, I do not know if an option
’--allow-collisions’ makes sense here.

Anyway, please do not forget to close it. ;-)

That's the problem. I need to remove it from %base-packages, otherwise
the packages that propagate guile 3.0.2 can't be installed.

Sorry if I am slow, but I do not see why this use-case should be a bug.
For example,

Toggle snippet (18 lines)
$ cat /tmp/manif.scm
(use-modules (gnu packages guile))
(packages->manifest
(list
guile-3.0-latest
guile-3.0))

$ guix package -m /tmp/manif.scm -p /tmp/bug
The following packages will be installed:
guile 3.0.2
guile 3.0.4

guix package: error: profile contains conflicting entries for guile
guix package: error: first entry: guile@3.0.4 /gnu/store/ah16zr8mmfkqy23rr7jy5a842ca1q9h1-guile-3.0.4
guix package: error: second entry: guile@3.0.2 /gnu/store/18hp7flyb3yid3yp49i6qcdq0sbi5l1n-guile-3.0.2
hint: You cannot have two different versions or variants of `guile' in the same profile.

And this appends for any package providing multiversions (gcc, clang,
guile, etc.). From my understanding, it is a feature. :-)

Using the option ’--allow-collisions’ avoids the error but then the
version you get is the first in the list, which could be prone error.
That’s why I am not convinced it makes sense here.

Said explicitly, if you do not want in your profile the package X
belonging to %base-packages , do not add the %base-packages list. :-) Or
create your custom list (remove the ones you do not want). I do not see
what could done on this side. The list %base-packages is 40 packages
considered as “kind of minimal” to be able to do minimal stuff.


In one of your message, you were speaking about propagated inputs.
Which is the use-case for the option ’--allow-collisions’, IIUC. Do you
have examples of such use-cases? Something where:

Toggle snippet (7 lines)
(packages (append (list
pkg-1
pkg-2
…
%base-packages))

leads to an error or an unexpected result?


All the best,
simon

I would disagree on that, it contains guile 3.0.4 instead of 3.0.2.
3.0.4 is not used, and prevents the other guile packages that require
3.0.2. If it contained 3.0.2 instead, I would 100% agree with what you
said there.

But it is fixed in core-updates, so we just need to wait for core-
updates to be merged.

Again, sorry to be slow. But I really try to understand. :-) I have
been annoyed by such things about different Guile with the website [1].

What I get with 353bdae (pre-1.2) or f4450e8 (post-1.2):

Toggle snippet (5 lines)
$ guix install guile -p /tmp/guile
The following package will be installed:
guile 3.0.4

so why are you are saying 3.0.4 is not used when it is the default?


Well, if I understand correctly, your point is the inconsistency between
the default Guile (3.0-latest, i.e., currently 3.0.4) and the Guile
(3.0, i.e., currently 3.0.2) used by most packages in guile-xyz.scm,
especially when there is bytecode difference. Right?
