Thanks for the snippet! I updated my package definition accordingly (see
attachment), but… `./pre-inst-env guix build --rounds=2 python@3.8`
always fails with:

"""
output ‘/gnu/store/…-python-3.8.0’ of ‘/gnu/store/…-python-3.8.0.drv’
differs from previous round
"""

I checked and I have the same problem with my previous version! :-(

Any idea welcome!!
