Hi,

ludo <at> gnu.org (Ludovic Courtès) skribis:

> This is due to an ABI breakage in the (web uri) module that Guile
> provides: in 2.2.3 ‘uri?’ is a procedure, but in 2.2.2 it’s a macro.
>
> As it turns out, build-aux/build-self.scm (which is what ‘guix pull’
> evaluates) selects the latest Guile 2.2.x, so it builds with 2.2.3, but
> then you run that code with 2.2.2, hence the error.

I’ve pushed a workaround as commit
66f217b43aca603326dab17d4dda1a398bf4fb8c.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
