Crippled packages on mirror.hydra.gnu.org?

Crippled packages on mirror.hydra.gnu.org?

[Dmitry Alexandrov]

Hello.

Trying to ‘$ guix package -i coreutils’ on Guix 0.12.0 freshly installed on Debian Stretch, I got the following:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Downloading http://mirror.hydra.gnu.org/guix/nar/gzip/9xfn6q7cxqxaxsv6kgiic9iygl2iv2ci-coreutils-8.25 (14.4MiB installed)...

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And it does not look like a guix(1) issue:

Is it something wrong with mirror.hydra.gnu.org or with Internet connecntion on my side?

Thanks, I'm forwarding this to our sysadmins so they can remove this
corrupted item from our mirror.

I can confirm this item is corrupted. You can work around the problem by
adding --fallback to whichever command failed.

Thank you.  I in fact did look for any contacts that might be more related to mirror admins than this mailing list, but no avail.  Does it mean that I have to continue report such issues here?

Anyway, no need to wait for an occasion, here is another one:

— https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org/guix/nar/gzip/i92s6sqzlps5wasx09wv3lckn2lj3dm7-perl-5.24.0

Error is the same:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
gzip: i92s6sqzlps5wasx09wv3lckn2lj3dm7-perl-5.24.0: invalid compressed data--format violated
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This affect yesterday’s 0.13.0 release.

Yes, thanks, that is what ‘guix package -i’ itself says. :-)

Yet, as much as https://hydra.gnu.org is slow, it could be faster to download the substitutes from there, where they are *not* corrupted (at least these two).

Thanks for your report, we’ll fix mirror.hydra.gnu.org shortly.

In the meantime, you can use:

  --substitute-urls=https://hydra.gnu.org

as a temporary workaround.

BTW, how did you install Guix?  Your installation appears to fetch
substitutes over HTTP instead of HTTPS.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
