[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

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

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]
