+(* This checks an error message as reported in bug #2172 *)
+
+Axiom axiom : forall (E F : nat), E = F.
+Lemma test : forall (E F : nat), E = F.
+Proof.
+ intros.
+(* This used to raise the following non understandable error message:
+
+ Error: Unable to find an instance for the variable x
+
+ The reason this error was that rewrite generated the proof
+
+ "eq_ind ?A ?x ?P ? ?y (axiom ?E ?F)"
+
+ and the equation ?x=?E was solved in the way ?E:=?x leaving ?x
+ unresolved. A stupid hack for solve this consisted in ordering
+ meta=meta equations the other way round (with most recent evars
+ instantiated first - since they are assumed to come first from the
+ user in rewrite/induction/destruct calls).

+ Fail rewrite <- axiom.
