sorry about that!

some update on its background: meanwhile development on openethereum has been abandoned in favor of nethermind.

unless some new rust packages were added that depend on rust-gmp-mpfr-sys, there's probably no dependant of it, and in that case it can be safely removed.

i can't deal with this, lacking time and rust knowledge.

i suggest the removal of this package.

$ ./pre-inst-env guix refresh --list-dependent rust-gmp-mpfr-sys
No dependents other than itself: rust-gmp-mpfr-sys@1.4.7

apologies for the inconvenience,
