Hello Leo,
I monitored a previous evaluation of the ungrafting Cuirass
specification that was more successful, with more than 17000 builds
performed in less than 24 hours, a new record! The recent evaluation is
sadly less victorious.

Yes, I described this issue here: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/48468 and
hopefully fixed it with https://issues.guix.gnu.org/48556.
I need to perform a reconfigure / deploy but I'm waiting to have a few
days ahead of me to fix potential issues.

When a build is cancelled ("Cancel pending builds" button), all
its dependents are automatically updated to "Failed dependency". It
looks like this is the case for https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/515005/details.

I think the easiest way to recover from this situation is to remove the
ungrafting specification and recreate it. It ensures that no build will
fail because of previously failing/cancelled build dependencies.
Note that when a build B is restarted in Cuirass ("Restart" button), any
other build B' depending from B, will automatically be restarted if B
becomes successful and all the other dependencies of B' are already
successful.
I used this mechanism to restart a few builds failing on the master
branch because of substitutes timeout. I hope that when the keep-alive
patchset will solve this situation.
Thanks,
Mathieu
