This was reverted in the recent upload of 3.7.0-1. Well, mostly reverted; the package now depends on guile-3.0 and guile-libs-2.2, but does not ship any guile-3.0 files. I presume this was due to build failures due to the test suite hanging on arm64 on previous versions: https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=gnutls28&arch=arm64&ver=3.6.15-5&stamp=1605401160&raw=0 By process of elimination(e.g. all other tests claim to have PASSED), the hanging test for 3.6.15-5 was: guile/tests/reauth.scm I was never able to reproduce the failure locally on multiple occasions, although once triggered a rebuild on the buildd machines that failed in the same way. Withouth guile-gnutls supporting guile-3.0, guix fails to build, as it depends on guile-3.0. I could probably switch guix to guile-2.2 in the short term, but I believe guix may soon drop support for guile-2.2, so this issue is a significant blocker for guix. Since several guile-* packages are largely in Debian as build-dependencies of guix, this is also indirectly a blocker for switching those packages to guile-3.0. For more possibly relevent and related background: https://bugs.debian.org/969672 gnutls28: please upgrade to guile-3.0 soon, if feasible https://bugs.debian.org/966714 guile-gnutls: FTBFS against guile 3.0.4-1+b1 Any further ideas or help in resolving this would be much appreciated! live well, vagrant
