bug#39775: guix pull - error: lmdbxx: unbound variable

[Martin Flack]

Ah, you can close this, sorry!

I think the problem was I had copied gnu/packages/databases.scm to a custom GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH in order to apply a patch from the mailing lists, without keeping it up-to-date with the rest of the contents of the file as guix had further commits over time. I know there must be a way to do that more cleanly where (a) you only override the necessary packages and (b) somehow it becomes moot or you get notified when that package is upgraded in mainline; but I have not yet learned how to do that! (Any tutorial?)

Cheers,

Martin

Could you provide the output of "guix describe" ? I mean from which
commit do you pull?

(I am not seeing this error.)


All the best,s
