bug#50739: Wrong type argument in position 158 (expecting empty list): #<package...

[Brendan Tildesley]

I have a Guix with a 100+ packages updated, and a ran a guix build command with 
a long list of packages, getting this backtrace just after building a package. 
Note that it took hours of sucessfully building packages to get to this one 
error, and I'm not sure it will reproduce.
The error appears to be in processing the long list of packages.

The branch: https://notabug.org/Brendan/guix/src/wip-kde-updates-21.08

Backtrace:
