It’s a bug that made its way in the last Geiser version, I think, but
ISTR that it’s fixed upstream.  Maybe Alex knows?

Ludovic,

thank you. I have been replied to on the Geiser mailing list. My posts were received, after all

I was suggested to try the melpa provided Geiser and that works.

Now, the version of the melpa provided Geiser is 20160617.954 and the version of the Guix provided Geiser is 0.8.1 and I'm not sure how they can be compared

The Geiser repository is unreachable now ( https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/geiser.git )

There's a github copy here https://github.com/jaor/geiser

but I'm not sure about the branches I saw there

I'd wait for Alex to clarify things a bit

In the meantime, can I try geiser-next ? Or is it gonna break things irreparably ?
