emacs-minimal-28.1-builder: Unknown # object: "#<"

Hi,

Getting this error when I try and update my emacs profile after a recent

guix pull:

---8<---------------------------------------------------------------------------

substitute: updating substitutes from 'https://ci.guix.gnu.org'... 100.0%

I have narrowed it down to commit

64557bc695f074af3fcf1eeed8f6696921ef18c5

I have commented out my third party channels (flatwhatson and my own plt

channel) and it still fails.

Here is a repro:

guix describe --format=channels:

---8<---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(list (channel

(name 'guix)

(url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git")

(branch #f)

(commit

"64557bc695f074af3fcf1eeed8f6696921ef18c5")

(introduction

(make-channel-introduction

"9edb3f66fd807b096b48283debdcddccfea34bad"

(openpgp-fingerprint

"BBB0 2DDF 2CEA F6A8 0D1D E643 A2A0 6DF2 A33A 54FA")))))

-------------------------------------------------------------------------->8---

Run:

guix pull --commit=64557bc695

guix build emacs-async

I'm on a foreign distro if that makes any difference.

Thanks.

Unverified solution: replace this ...

(arguments

(substitute-keyword-arguments (package-arguments emacs)

((#:configure-flags flags ''())

`(list "--with-gnutls=no" "--disable-build-details"))

((#:phases phases)

`(modify-phases ,phases

(delete 'restore-emacs-pdmp)

(delete 'strip-double-wrap)))))

by

(arguments

(substitute-keyword-arguments (package-arguments emacs)

((#:configure-flags flags ''())

#~(list "--with-gnutls=no" "--disable-build-details"))

((#:phases phases)

#~(modify-phases #$phases

(delete 'restore-emacs-pdmp)

(delete 'strip-double-wrap)))))

in the package definition of 'emacs-minimal'. The other package

variants of emacs would also needs this change. The change to

#:configure-flags is probably unnecessary but I think it's nice for

consistency.

Greetings,

Maxime.

Looks like the patches in https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/55419solved

the issue. I can no longer reproduce the issue after a guix pull (commit

ebb4302).

Closing this issue.
