The easiest thing would be to give it a slightly different name, such as emacs-subed-customized, but you can still resolve it if you don't want to do that for some reason. Since you're using the `-L` flag, I assume that you put the package definition in a file that defines a module. If not, see section 2.5.2 of the guile manual (1). Once it's in a module, you can either import the module with a prefix as described in section 6.18.2 (2) or you can use the `@` syntax to tell guile to pull the symbol out of that module directly; I don't see a full explanation of this in the manual right off, but it would look something like this: `(@ (gnu packages emacs-xzy) emacs-subed)`, except use the name of your module instead of the gnu module.

Thanks for the video! It's a strange problem, but I believe I've seen something similar when using GNOME. I'll try taking a look when I have a chance. -- Thanks, Maxim

There the freeze happens later, during the building phase for packages-base, but it seems like the symtoms are the same. Does this happen every time you try? Could you get a backtrace with GDB? I think the incantation was: set logging on thread apply all backtrace quit And then the output should be gdb.txt.
guix pull: computing Guix derivation takes forever
I've just installed Guix on a partition of my new HDD. After the installation I logged in to my user account on a Linux console and executed 'guix pull'. After that it pulled the repository and computed Guix derivation, but stuck while updating substitutes. So I thought something is wrong and restarted the command. Now the pull operation always stucks while computing Guix derivation. There is no sign of activity according to top.
