Hello, I have found an interesting bug with guix.

When I try to import ~yasnippet~ from melpa, the command is unable to find the 'refs/remotes/origin/HEAD'.

How to reproduce:

#+begin_src shell :results output :epilogue ":"
guix import elpa -a melpa yasnippet 2>&1
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example

  (description
    "   Basic steps to setup:

   (add-to-list 'load-path                 \"~/path-to-yasnippet\")    (require
'yasnippet)    (yas-global-mode 1)


  Interesting variables are:

      `yas-snippet-dirs'

          The directory where user-created snippets are to be           stored.
Can also be a list of directories.  In that case,           when used for bulk
(re)loading of snippets (at startup or           via `yas-reload-all'),
directories appearing earlier in           the list override other dir's
snippets.  Also, the first           directory is taken as the default for
storing the user's           new snippets.

          The deprecated `yas/root-directory' aliases this variable
for backward-compatibility.


  Major commands are:

      M-x yas-expand

          Try to expand snippets before point.  In `yas-minor-mode',
this is normally bound to TAB, but you can customize it in
`yas-minor-mode-map'.

      M-x yas-load-directory

          Prompts you for a directory hierarchy of snippets to load.

      M-x yas-activate-extra-mode

          Prompts you for an extra mode to add snippets for in the
current buffer.

      M-x yas-insert-snippet

          Prompts you for possible snippet expansion if that is
possible according to buffer-local and snippet-local           expansion
conditions.  With prefix argument, ignore these           conditions.

      M-x yas-visit-snippet-file

          Prompts you for possible snippet expansions like
`yas-insert-snippet', but instead of expanding it, takes           you directly
to the snippet definition's file, if it           exists.

      M-x yas-new-snippet

          Lets you create a new snippet file in the correct
subdirectory of `yas-snippet-dirs', according to the           active major
mode.

      M-x yas-load-snippet-buffer

          When editing a snippet, this loads the snippet.  This is
bound to \"C-c C-c\" while in the `snippet-mode' editing           mode.

      M-x yas-tryout-snippet

          When editing a snippet, this opens a new empty buffer,           sets
it to the appropriate major mode and inserts the           snippet there, so you
can see what it looks like.  This is           bound to \"C-c C-t\" while in
`snippet-mode'.

      M-x yas-describe-tables

          Lists known snippets in a separate buffer.  User is           prompted
as to whether only the currently active tables           are to be displayed, or
all the tables for all major           modes.

  If you have `dropdown-list' installed, you can optionally use it   as the
preferred \"prompting method\", putting in your .emacs file,   for example:

      (require 'dropdown-list)       (setq yas-prompt-functions
'(yas-dropdown-prompt                                    yas-ido-prompt
                          yas-completing-prompt))

  Also check out the customization group

       M-x customize-group RET yasnippet RET

  If you use the customization group to set variables   `yas-snippet-dirs' or
`yas-global-mode', make sure the path to   \"yasnippet.el\" is present in the
`load-path' *before* the   `custom-set-variables' is executed in your .emacs
file.
