[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Deja-dup fails to build on c2734ff80987de8f0bb3e31d4339e5496a9821d2. I 
noticed this some "guix pull && guix package -u" ago so I'm not sure 
when it was introduced. The log indicates that the build process stops 
when trying to run "make -j 8 gtk_update_icon_cache=true". To reproduce 
just running

guix pull --commit=c2734ff80987de8f0bb3e31d4339e5496a9821d2 && guix 
build deja-dup

should do.

I attach the build log.

Thank you all for your effort both on the technical and human side of 
free software (in the last few days I felt like you should receive more 
thanks than you did).

Giacomo

It looks like these are the actual errors:
/tmp/guix-build-deja-dup-34.3.drv-0/deja-dup-34.3/libdeja/ToolPlugin.vala:78.7-78.40: error: Assignment: Cannot convert from `GLib.List<weak GLib.File>' to `GLib.List<GLib.File>'
      this._restore_files = value.copy();

                                                                g_object_unref);
                                                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

      this._restore_files = value.copy();
      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


It probably keeps going after the errors due to make's parallelism.

Looks like Vala is a bit outdated, gonna try to update it to the latest stable version.

This could have been a rookie mistake, since updating Vala will result in a lot of packages needing to be rebuilt... Note to self: find root cause first, bump version numbers only when necessary.
