To reproduce: $ guix build ruby-stackprof@0.2.17 --system=??? # if it was substituted $ guix build ruby-stackprof@0.2.17 --system=??? --no-grafts --check where I don't know what the value of ??? is (maybe armhf-linux?). Maybe it fails on other architectures too, but I cannot reproduce it on i686-linux. Apparently this can cause "guix pull" to fail, see . Greetings, Maxime.
