Good.  :-)

Bah.  :-/

That happens during the evaluation, probably when compiling (guix build
download).  Nothing to worry about.

The fact that all of these failed more or less instantaneously probably
means that these were cached failures.  See ‘guix gc --list-failures’.

Why they failed in the first place, I don’t know.  Are these x86_64/i686
builds?  (You can see that in the .drv file.)  If not, no wonder that
they fail.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
