See <https://bugs.gnu.org/29106> (the issue we’re talking about.)  There
you submitted an emacs-ido-completing-read+ patch¹, and it isn’t clear
to me how it relates to the initial problem you reported.

OK, I suppose that’s because python-pyqt indirectly depends on
pulseaudio (currently Guix doesn’t try to detect cycles around
derivations, which is why you get this “never-ending” behavior.)

The usual approach to break such cycles is by having a “-minimal”
variant of one of the packages in the loop.

Would it work for you?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
