Subject: jami service failing following 'guix deploy' update
Date: Sat, 11 Jun 2022 01:53:24 -0400

Hello Guix!

After having fixed the tests of the jami-service-type and pushed the fix
as 85b4dabd94d53f8179f31a42046cd83fc3a352fc, I was confident it would
work, but my freshly 'guix deploy'ed machine says otherwise:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ sudo herd stop jami
$ sudo herd start jami
Service jami-dbus-session has been started.
herd: exception caught while executing 'start' on service 'jami':
Unbound variable: jami-service-available?

$ guix system describe

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I don't get it; how can the service runs fine in the instrumented VMs
the system tests use, and fail in my updated machine?  Could it be a
fault in 'guix deploy'?

To be investigated...

Thanks,

Maxim
