The error message is this:

guix package: error: build failed: the group `guixbuild' specificed in
`build-users-group' does not exist

What operating system are you using? I had the same problem on Debian.

How did you install the nscd package?

I think it is another case of <https://bugs.gnu.org/30298>. The
workaround is to install and use nscd, or to edit '/etc/nsswitch.conf',
as described here:
