bug#30413: file exists and is +x but cannot be executed

[Marco van Hulten]

Hello—

I had cups installed as root and another user.  I could use lpr.
Now I tried to install it under user2 (to have the lpr binary
available, among other things), but I cannot execute `lpr`:


user2@graviton ~$ guix package -i cups
The following package will be upgraded:
   cups 2.2.4 → 2.2.4   /gnu/store/x5d85f1n0qalqlrr7rfwrj135m80snlb-cups-2.2.4

nothing to be done
user2@graviton ~$ lpr
lpr: No such file or directory
user2@graviton ~$ which lpr
/home/user2/.guix-profile/bin/lpr
user2@graviton ~$ ls -l /home/user2/.guix-profile/bin/lpr

But it looks as if it is there.  Also, the executable bit is set for
world.


user2@graviton ~$ less /gnu/store/x5d85f1n0qalqlrr7rfwrj135m80snlb-cups-2.2.4/bin/lpr


showed the name of a file, so I checked its existence as well:


user2@graviton ~$ file /gnu/store/3h31zsqxjjg52da5gp3qmhkh4x8klhah-glibc-2.25/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /gnu/store/3h31zsqxjjg52da5gp3qmhkh4x8klhah-glibc-2.25/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2: symbolic link to ld-2.25.so
user2@graviton ~$ cd /gnu/store/3h31zsqxjjg52da5gp3qmhkh4x8klhah-glibc-2.25/lib/

I am using GNU Guix of a week old or so.

Hi,

Could it be that /gnu/store is mounted as no-exec, or something along
these lines?  What does the ‘mount’ command show?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Could have been, but not likely as I remember other commands, surely
several from /gnu/store/, working properly.

Right now `lpr` works (and I didn't do a pull; path is the same).
I would have reported that before if I had tried to use the printer
again.  In any case, the issue went away — the bug report can be closed
(as unconfirmable or something).

Thanks!
