After patching no new generation created.  But dry-run still shows
available upgrades and that will be build some derivations.

Subject: Re: bug#28743: guix package dry-run upgrade incorrect behaviour
 with verbosity

Hi,

This old bug [1] is about dry-run.  IIUC, it is not now fixed as shown
below.  However, there is another annoying thing about the option
’--verbosity’.

Let create a profile with a package without the grafts, then check the
update with dry-run, make the upgrade, check the dry-run upgrade again.
All seem fine, right?

$ guix package -i r-shiny -p /tmp/foo --no-grafts 2>/dev/null

$ guix package -p /tmp/foo --upgrade --dry-run

However, let do the same thing with the option ’--verbosity=2’ (equal
deprecated ’--verbose’).

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ rm -fr /tmp/foo*
$ guix package -i r-shiny -p /tmp/foo --no-grafts 2>/dev/null
$ guix package -p /tmp/foo --upgrade --dry-run --verbosity=2
The following package would be upgraded:
   r-shiny (dependencies or package changed)

$ guix package -p /tmp/foo --list-generations
Generation 1	Sep 16 2021 09:04:48
  r-shiny	1.6.0	out	/gnu/store/gq31n44a6b815xlrh0zph6vwc7wqqw8c-r-shiny-1.6.0

Generation 2	Sep 16 2021 09:06:05	(current)

$ guix package -p /tmp/foo --upgrade --verbosity=2
guix package: warning: nothing to do
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Et voilà!  Still a bug.  Same with any other ’verbosity’ value.


All the best,
simon
