Hum?  In my frame of reference it is only one day.  Are you traveling
fast?  Or living close to a blackhole? ;-)  I mean, do not
apologize, it is not a “late” reply. :-)

Hum?  I have tried with 2 machines running 2 Guix versions and then from
these both, run "time-machine".  Not able to reproduce.

To be specific: 58af4c9 and fd0ef0e, simply:

   guix build gnucash
   guix build gnucash --no-grafts --check -K

Then from these 2 versions,

   guix time-machine --commit=93c2518 -- build gnucash
   guix time-machine --commit=93c2518 \
        -- build gnucash--no-grafts --check -K

and all seems fine.


However, running several times “guix build gnucash --no-grafts --check
-K” with fd0ef0e raised once an error about non-deterministic.

So maybe it is a Schrödinger-like issue.


Moreover, I do not know what is going on but the webpage [1] looks
weird.  And the “reproducible” Data Service checker [2] is unhappy too.


Thanks for the report.  It needs more investigations…  Do you want give
a try?

PS: One late email (overnight-for-me, speaking) and bunch of physic is
covered. ;-)
