bug#41603: How To Resolve "guile: warning: failed to install locale"

[David Philipe Gil via Bug reports for GNU Guix]

[-- Attachment #1.1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 416 bytes --]

I have the Guix package manager installed on Trisquel 9 (Ubuntu 18.04 based) and whenever I do "guix pull", "guix package -u", etc. As a first response, I see the following warning -- "guile: warning: failed to install locale".

I have installed the glibc locales package already. How do I resolve this? I suspect this is related to why some programs like "peek" (a GIF recording app) show me broken UI characters.

Do you have installed twice glibc-locales?

 1. in your user default profile; what you already did, I guess.
 2. in your root profile (roughly speaking the locale used by the
daemon) -- maybe adjust systemd or other.

Well, this should fix the issue when you invoke "guix <command>".
For the other issue (peek), I do not know.

Hope that helps,

So you reinstalled Guix?

Did you intentionally disable binary substitutes?

Uff, this is because the domain that used to serve the tarball has
started serving very different content.  :-/

I have fixed this in the Guix master branch with commit
91c8b23e571b90e2d263194c9fbb2b05c0475dc1.

This means you will be building everything from source.  If that’s not
what you intended to do you should authorize the public key of the
substitute server ci.guix.gnu.org.

It seems the local build aspect is broken for me for glibc-locales so to
solve this, as root I did:

# guix archive --authorize < \
     ~root/.config/guix/current/share/guix/ci.guix.gnu.org.pub

It seems to have fixed my issue.

As Marius pointed, without this you do not use the substitutes
(binary) served by the build farm ci.guix.gnu.org...

...therefore, you are rebuilding everything.  And your issue was coming from...

...this mismatch.  The upstream did a really bad thing: in-place replacement.

Depending on what you use, build all your software could be really
resource hungry!  Especially with the bootstrap dance.

The functionality is reliable.  The issue is not from the Guix side
but from upstream. Well, Guix cannot fix the world. ;-)

Dear,

Because the issue is fixed for you and new hash is fixed in

Now your issue is solved, you can start again to burn your CPU.
Give a look a "guix challenge" and please report mismatch and "guix
publish" to serve the binaries you build.

Interesting -- ive never heard of guix challenge...

I ran it and here is my result:

'''

8,427 store items were analyzed:
  - 3,480 (41.3%) were identical
  - 147 (1.7%) differed
  - 4,800 (57.0%) were inconclusive

'''

So, does this mean that some of the binaries that are being hosted may
be malicious? I am only somewhat "techie" if i built my own binaries is
it "easy" to publish my binaries?

It means that 147 out of 3627 items that could be found on the remote
server were not reproducible.  Or about 4%.  There are some known
offenders such as debug outputs: you can use 'guix challenge
--diff=diffoscope' to get detailed information about the differences.

96% is close to Debian's number: <https://isdebianreproducibleyet.com/>.

It would be good to file bugs about those 4% and bring the number
closer to zero.  :-)

"inconclusive" just means that the remote did not have those store items
available, so Guix was unable to challenge them.

Yes: simply running 'guix publish' starts a web server that can be used
with --substitute-urls.  You'll also need to generate a signing key and
authorize it on all clients.

There is a service available for 'guix publish', also on foreign
distributions.

Confirming. Executing `guix archive ...` helps. However there's no
ci.guix.gnu.org.pub under that path. In my case the
ci.guix.gnu.org.pub I used is:

sha256sum $(find /root/.cache/ -name ci.guix.gnu.org.pub)
0f7e51614eac75353196b650e73b7b5eeee59824b0f78935da0d6717ddd1792f
/root/.cache/guix/checkouts/pjmkglp4t7znuugeurpurzikxq3tnlaywmisyr27shj7apsnalwq/etc/substitutes/ci.guix.gnu.org.pub

(Be careful, I must admit I don't really know what I've been doing
with that `guix archive` command).

And then the commands I executed are:

sudo su          # become root
guix archive --authorize < $(find /root/.cache/ -name ci.guix.gnu.org.pub)
exit             # exit the root shell
guix pull        # not sure if this is needed, but it shouldn't do any harm
guix install glibc-locales
