Subject: OpenCV Python package throws error
Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2024 16:49:11 +0000

The current OpenCV package (opencv <at> 4.8.0) fails to load on a pure GNU
Guix system, the error reports that some part of OpenCV isn't able to
find the libGL.so.1 library.

My GNU Guix description:

Generation 83    Feb 05 2024 16:30:36    (current)
  guix a3df20d
    repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
    branch: master
    commit: a3df20db8c3b9c819db7ca29bf014e2544e389d4

To reproduce the issue

guix shell python \
           python-numpy \
           opencv \
           --pure \
           -- python3 -c 'import cv2'

And shows the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/<redacted>/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/cv2/__init__.py",
line 181, in <module>
    bootstrap()
  File "/home/<redacted>/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/cv2/__init__.py",
line 153, in bootstrap
    native_module = importlib.import_module("cv2")
  File "/gnu/store/8s8k2v6b5b7lyf5y5n534cjd9sipgas6-python-3.10.7/lib/python3.10/importlib/__init__.py",
line 126, in import_module
    return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level)
ImportError: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file
or directory

I tried investigating why the error happened without luck as I'm not sure
in what place OpenCV is trying to load libGL.so.1.
