Re: Shepherd in Debian

Hi Simon,

Simon Josefsson via "Development of GNU Guix and the GNU System
distribution." <guix-devel@gnu.org> skribis:

That would have been fun.  :-)

That indicates a discrepancy between the Guile used to build the
Shepherd and the one used at run time.  Object files built by 3.0.9 (as
is the case here) cannot be understood by 3.0.7.

How’s that handled for other Guile packages in Debian?  Vagrant must
know. :-)
