New type Block for List is not a mixin type

[demanuel]

Just updated raku to latest main. Now zef doesn't work.

> zef
===SORRY!=== Error while compiling /usr/bin/zef
New type Block for List is not a mixin type
at /usr/bin/zef:3

> 

Expected Behavior

zef should work

Environment

• Operating system: Linux archlinux 6.8.9-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu, 02 May 2024 17:49:46 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

• Compiler version (rakudo -v or raku -v): Latest main: Welcome to Rakudo™ v2024.04-78-gb6028f9da. Implementing the Raku® Programming Language v6.d. Built on MoarVM version 2024.04-4-gc1eedd502.

Now lots of modules either throw the error New type Block for List is not a mixin type or just sigsegv:

This feels like your rakudo installation somehow got corrupted.

Could you try remove the "install" directory and build Rakudo from scratch? NOTE: you will have to re-install any modules that you have installed if you do that. Which is kinda the point of this action: to make sure there's no interference from stuff that has been left behind.

Deleted the folder ~/.raku and rebuilded it from scratch. zef is now working. However now DBIish isn't installing

Everything else seems fine

Found the underlying issue (same as with #5567). Thinking of a proper solution.
