--- Begin Message --- Subject: Old libsoup package failing system reconfigure Date: Tue, 02 Nov 2021 06:03:05 +0000 Attached is the output of `guix system reconfigure` it seems to fail due to an out of date libsoup package. The rebuild needs libsoup 3.0 and the repo has 2.72.

This is my first bug report. I hope that was sufficient information.

All the best,
