With Guix 3a656ea836f87f30f1b34852cb4efc911363d2b4, qutebrowser's 
wrap-qt-process-path phase fails. Maybe related to the recent Qt work 
in <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/56771>? Build log attatched.

Best,
Jack

Uh, this was unexpected.  I believe it's because label-less inputs are
auto-generated via the package *name* rather than their variable name...
Since qtwebengine-5 (the variable) still has the name "qtwebengine", the
following code:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(qt-process-path (string-append (assoc-ref inputs "qtwebengine-5")
                                      "/lib/qt5/libexec/QtWebEngineProcess"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Doesn't actually find "qtwebengine-5" and it fails attempting to append
#f to "/lib/qt5/libexec/QtWebEngineProcess.  The solution that comes to
mind would be using:

(file-input-search inputs "lib/qt5/libexec/QtWebEngineProcess").

Thanks,

Maxim

Yep, that did it.

Fixed in aea756ea3312ba7e8229804492ba12001c8de568.

Closing.

Thanks for the report!

this does not fix the build of lyx and twinkle for me, which both fail at 'qt-wrap:

Maybe a different incarnation of the same issue?

The fix is on the package side, so other affected packages won't have
been fixed by that commit.

This issue affects the following packages as well as qute:

  twinkle, lyx, nheko, quaternion, kcrash, likely many KDE packages
  (possibly kdenlive, kdevelop, and others), kguiaddons, psi, sonnet.

(Not a complete list, of course.)

Proposed fix at:

objects I'll push it soon.

Thanks,
