Message #5 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
In the 1.3.0rc2 VM image, ‘guix describe’ prints nothing and exits with
0 (success). This is with /run/current-system/profile/bin/guix.
‘strace’ shows that it parses /run/current-system/profile/manifest,
which does not contain provenance information.
“$(readlink -f $(type -P guix)) describe” prints what’s expected, with
information from (guix config).
This is a regression compared to 1.3.0rc1.

In RC1, ‘current-profile’ from (guix describe) returns #f.
Thus, ‘current-channels’ returns channel metadata from (guix config).
In RC2, ‘current-profile’ returns /run/current-system/profile.
Thus, ‘current-channels’ returns metadata from profile entries, but
there’s none.
The different ‘current-profile’ behavior stems from this condition:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define current-profile
(mlambda ()
"Return the profile (created by 'guix pull') the calling process lives in,
or #f if this is not applicable."
(match initial-program-arguments
((program . _)
(and (string-suffix? "/bin/guix" program) ;<------ HERE!
;; Note: We want to do _lexical dot-dot resolution_. Using ".."
;; for real would instead take us into the /gnu/store directory
;; that ~/.config/guix/current/bin points to, whereas we want to
;; obtain ~/.config/guix/current.
(let ((candidate (dirname (dirname program))))
(and (file-exists? (string-append candidate "/manifest"))
candidate)))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Prior to c47f3fc13562d82edfd2d47342574154c452843a, PROGRAM was
“.guix-real” (hence the #f return value), but now it’s “guix”.

Fixed in 8a154c29151fc445e8d0364f507f6e200de1e700. (I tested with ‘make
update-guix-package’ from which I built a VM to test into.)
The bug would also cause ‘guix pull’ to start authentication at the
introductory commit (thus authenticating more than 17,000 commits)
instead of starting at the current commit (around 800 commits today.)
If anyone wants to double-check, you can run, on version-1.3.0:
make update-guix-package
./pre-inst-env guix system vm gnu/system/examples/vm-image.tmpl
and from there try things like:
guix describe
guix pull
and so on.
