Hi Giovanni,

(Did you mean to immediately open a bug report?)

You should really [configure your editor to] indent your code.

The error will immediately become obvious, and future ones like it will too.  You meant to write

  (append (list foo)
          %another-list))

not

  (append (list foo %another-list))

which creates that incorrectly nested your Guix is freaking out about.

Kind regards,

T G-R

Sent on the go.  Excuse or enjoy my brevity.
