[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi, folks! I can see that the last comment is back in 2020.


Is there anyone involved in related development that still considers this bug? Today, in 2024, four years later, I can see the bug is not fixed.


Yesterday, I  ran guix install gcl sbcl. After a logout, I was unable to login. First, I thought I messed up something by accident so I used timeshift to roll back my machine. After the fix I installed gcl and sbcl again, then when I started my machine, the same problem occured! It took my more than 5 reboots to found out that it is the sbcl installed via guix that broke gnome somehow. After guix remove sbcl, the problem is gone! 


does anyone have some idea about a fix or walkaround? This is absolutely a bug, and since gnome is popular fossware, I would regard it as an urgent bug that forces people not to use sbcl via guix. 


If the bug is not easily fixable in the near future, a note in the package description is needed, warning people not to use the package if they are using gnome.
