As mentioned in [1], the issue is from ’search-path’ – it returns #false
– it is involved in several layers.

See <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/67048#3> for a patch proposal.


Some details: When invoking “guix refresh” (guix scripts refresh):

 + It calls the procedure ’update-package’

  + which calls ’update-package-source’; see guix/upstream.scm

    + which calls ’package-field-location’; see guix/package.scm

     (match (search-path %load-path file)
       ((? string? file-found)
[...]
       (#f
        ;; FILE could not be found in %LOAD-PATH.
        #f)))

  -> Therefore in ’update-package-source’, the variable ’version-loc’ is
     false:

            (version-loc (package-field-location package 'version)))
        (if version-loc

  + Once fixed, later in ’update-package-source’, it reads,

               (file        (and=> (location-file loc)
                                   (cut search-path %load-path <>))))
          (if file

  -> Therefore, the variable ’file’ is false.

     + Once fixed, later in ’update-package-source’ it calls
     ’absolute-location’; see guix/diagnostics.scm.

            (if (string-prefix? "/" (location-file loc))
[...]
                (match (search-path %load-path (location-file loc))
                  (#f
                   (raise (formatted-message



Well, I do not know how to do better than

WDYT?
