bug#49226: tidy build failure: invoke error

[Christopher Howard]

When I try to build tidy without substitutes, I get error:

build of /gnu/store/zlr12hkdpxa4dwkkcw6v13rn14xmq9jb-tidy-20091223-
checkout.drv failed
View build log at
'/var/log/guix/drvs/zl/r12hkdpxa4dwkkcw6v13rn14xmq9jb-tidy-20091223-
checkout.drv.bz2'.

Here is the log:

I can run the same fetch command from the command line and I do not
have trouble getting a checkout.

Here is my system information:

bug#49226: tidy build failure: invoke error

[Leo Prikler]

This appears to be a non-deterministic failure, as I too got it, but
with a later file.  Since we're still using the same cvs binary, I
don't think it's the fault of the build environment.

Leo
