<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hi, I&#39;m puzzled over an error message I&#39;m getting while trying to install a package with Guix, and wonder if I&#39;m doing something radically wrong.</p> <p>I&#39;m using Guix on a foreign distro (Ubuntu 18.04), and am trying to install the &quot;remmina&quot; package. That package seems to be listed on the &quot;packages&quot; website (<a href="https://guix.gnu.org/en/packages/remmina-1.4.21/">here</a>), I&#39;ve run <code>guix pull</code> to make sure listings are up to date, and the Guix git repo seems to contain instructions on how to build it <a href="https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/vnc.scm?id=bfaf6c18016a091f3f36c079c4a58e49a123d9f0#n61">here</a>, but if I run the command <code>guix install remmina --dry-run</code> I get the message</p> <pre><code>guix install: error: remmina: unknown package </code></pre> <p>(The package also doesn&#39;t show up if I run <code>guix package --list-available=&#39;rem&#39;</code>.) Is there some obvious mistake I&#39;m making here?</p> <p>(In contrast, trying to install another VNC client, vinagre, seems to work fine: <code>guix install vinagre</code> results in Vinagre 3.22.0 being installed.)</p> <p>Any advice welcome!</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> &#32; submitted by &#32; <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/red_elagabalus"> /u/red_elagabalus </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/GUIX/comments/rcgiur/puzzled_over_unknown_package_message/">[link]</a></span> &#32; <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/GUIX/comments/rcgiur/puzzled_over_unknown_package_message/">[comments]</a></span>
