Hello,

today at 21:30 UTC+3 I tried to perform "guix pull" and got the
following error:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix pull
Updating channel 'guix' from Git repository at 'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git'...

As my colleagues from Russian Guix community pointed out, "home-page"
and "homempage" differ only in one symbol: "-" and "m".  "-" is 45 in
ACII and "m" is 109.

I checked "gnu/packages/crates-io.scm" from the Guix distribution and
found no occurrences of "homempage":

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ grep -R "homempage" gnu/packages/*
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Binary representation suspiciously differs only in 1 bit:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
'-'  45    0010 1101
'm'  109   0110 1101
            ^
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I checked my Emacs setup and currently there's no "M-x M-c M-butterfly"
running. [1]

Hello,

today I tried "guix pull" again and it went fine.

Maybe commits from 7cef6b7ba555a9dfaf6d09cb7e112b0df77d5141 to
3bd8d238aba718bf949691d0e37fa310e2cfc12a fixed something?  Or just some
local cache got refreshed?

Thanks for the report. It sounds like this can be closed now. Hopefully 
it's a one off!

Kind regards,
