bug#22954: Suspicious ownership or permission on harfbuzz-1.0.6-bin

[Jeffrey Serio]

I'm running the GuixSD usb install image version 0.9.0. I booted into
the install environment, and after connecting to the internet I ran
"guix pull". After "guix pull", I prepared the system to install to hard
drive, then I ran "guix system init /mnt/etc/config.scm /mnt
--fallback".

The build failed with the error message "Suspicious ownership or
permission on /gnu/store/...-harfbuzz-1.0.6-bin".

mark_weaver on the IRC channel asked me to run the stat command on that
directory, so I ran "stat /gnu/store/...-harfbuzz-1.0.6-bin" (but with
the actual string of alphanumeric characters in place of the
ellipsis). The stat command indicated that the -harfbuzz-1.0.6-bin
directory permissions is 0777. To be more specific:

Access: (0777/drwxrwxrwx) Uid: (30001/guixbuilder01) Gid:
(30000/guixbuild).

Let me know if any more information is needed.

I have been getting these from time to time recently; it may be related
to grafts, I think it appears when one package is supposed to be grafted
to another one. The two or three times it happened to me, just rerunning
the command succeeded.

Right, I experienced it a few times, hence 82f5186.

However, last time I saw this failure, I re-run the faulty derivation
with

  guix build /gnu/store/….drv --rounds=10

and it always succeeded.

So I suspect something fishy like a race condition in the daemon or
something.

I’m happy to report that this is finally fixed!

Commit d72267863382041b84a9712eea354882be72ef55.

The root problem was that libguile’s ‘mkdir’ was playing dirty tricks
with umask(2), as explained at <http://bugs.gnu.org/24659>.  Our
multithreaded grafting code triggered the issue described in that bug.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
