This sometimes requires some manual fiddling, in my experience, e.g.: $ guix refresh --list-dependent guile-ssh Building the following 9 packages would ensure 10 dependent packages are rebuilt: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] $ guix build [email protected] guix build: error: guix-daemon: package not found for version 1.3.0rc2-1.566982b As the "guix-daemon" package is sometimes called "guix" instead. Not sure how many other cases like this there are. Given that it may in some cases require manually fiddling of package names, "guix refresh --build-dependent PACKAGE" would be nice. I vaguely recall discussing on irc not long ago the desire for "guix refresh --list-dependent --machine-readable" (e.g. drop the "Building the following X packages would ensure 10 dependent packages are rebuilt:") or something similar. Would save having to pipe to cut, awk, sed, perl, etc. ... I could also see, at least for completeness, "guix refresh --list-all-dependent" e.g. not hide the recursive dependencies, but show the whole list of packages to be rebuilt... I thought there was a bug about these sorts of things, but I haven't found it... live well, vagrant
