Emacs-Guix broken due to ABI incompatibility

Hello Guix Folks,

I've updated my guix version today and found that most emacs-guix

interactive commands no longer work. For example, guix-packages-by-name throws:

guix-geiser-eval: Error in evaluating guile expression: ice-9/boot-9.scm:1685:16: In procedure raise-exception:

In procedure package-license: Wrong type argument: #<package abduco@0.6 gnu/packages/abduco.scm:28 7f45f9d11f20>

similarly, guix-all-services throws:

guix-geiser-eval: Error in evaluating guile expression: ice-9/boot-9.scm:1685:16: In procedure raise-exception:

In procedure service-type-location: Wrong type argument: #<service-type account 7f45de40d7c0>

finally, guix-installed-system-packages throws:

guix-geiser-eval: Error in evaluating guile expression: ice-9/boot-9.scm:1685:16: In procedure raise-exception:

In procedure manifest-entry-name: Wrong type argument: #<<manifest-entry> name: "nss-certs" version: "3.81" output: "out" item: "/gnu/store/1klwvqm3njp070h982ydcix1gzf2zmdl-nss-certs-3.81" dependencies: () search-paths: () parent: #<promise #<procedure 7f45f99873c8 at guix/profiles.scm:576:57 ()>> properties: ()>

My guix version if following:

I haven't made any modifications to the standard configuration of

emacs-guix. Thanks for your work!

Hi,

Amade Nemes Gmail <nemesamade@gmail.com> skribis:

I think this is caused by an ABI incompatibility: the ‘guix’ package is

currently at 1.4.0rc1, which doesn’t have the change made in:

https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59390

However, current ‘master’ does have this change.

The ‘emacs-guix’ package is built against the ‘guix’ package; it has

inlined calls like (package-name p) to something like:

But on ‘master’, <package> is a macro, not a record type descriptor;

thus, the (eq? …) expression is always false.

I’ll fix this by upgrading the ‘guix’ package and/or merging the (guix

records) bit in the ‘version-1.4.0’ branch.

Thanks,

Ludo’.

Hi Ludo,

Thanks for the quick reply! Unfortunately I'm still getting the same

errors after pulling in the latest guix. Here's my emacs-guix package:

amade@swift ~$ guix package --show=emacs-guix

name: emacs-guix

As you can see it's depending on the updated guix@1.4.0rc1-1.9ccc94a,

however the errors persist. Let me know I've misunderstood something,

still quite new to guix:)

Best,

Amade

False alarm, is working correctly today. Not sure why it was not working

previously. I guess I skipped the tried and tested "have you tried

turning it off and on again?" troubleshooting step:)
