Hi Guix,

but lsblk -f still looks like this:

This was finally committed in 71e0f1e9adbce4a6476a70bddabf13f6d7af2d40
and 01bb039e7b408893009d15f56cfcbdc8af70a4af.

The circular dependency is straightforward: eudev *requires* util-linux
as part of its build process. Thus, eudev has util-linux as an input.
That version of util-linux can not depend on eudev, because we can not
build eudev without a working util-linux package.
Wrt the rest of the message, I share your sentiment, and think we will
get there. 'guix build --with-git-url' is pretty close already. :-)
