Long story: I have a really old daemon here: $ tail -n 2 /etc/init/guix-daemon.conf exec /gnu/store/5drb0ijbszvy8xmps89qcav1p4vy9wqr-guix-0.11.0/bin/guix-daemon --build-users-group=guixbuild I have no clue how to update it correctly and it was always a mystery, so I read in the manual how to do that nowadays: https://guix.info/manual/en/Binary-Installation.html#Binary-Installation and did: $ sudo cp /root/.guix-profile/lib/upstart/system/guix-daemon.conf /etc/init/guix-daemon.conf $ tail -n 2 /etc/init/guix-daemon.conf exec /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile/bin/guix-daemon --build-users-group=guixbuild $ sudo systemctl stop guix-daemon $ sudo systemctl start guix-daemon $ ps -aux | grep guix root 6995 0.1 0.0 27976 3940 ? Ss 07:30 0:00 /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile/bin/guix-daemon --substitute-urls=https://berlinguixsd.org https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org --build-users-group=guixbuild bjoern 6998 0.0 0.0 15780 948 pts/16 S+ 07:30 0:00 grep --color=auto guix Now, let's introduce the wrong checksum again, pull, update: $ guix pull $ guix package -u guix-tools [...] I was about to say that it still doesn't work, until I thought maybe my guix in ~root/.guix-profile could also be a bit old: $ sudo guix package -I | grep guix guix 0.13.0 out /gnu/store/vir3lrwqy50pr8fkaf3m091dgbrja2n6-guix-0.13.0 Uh, better than 0.11, but still not the newest version. But how to get to a new one? Now, a `guix pull` for root failed with some error. So I did a /home/bjoern/.config/guix/current/bin/guix pull --commit= That worked, it updated guix. After guix package -u, restarting the daemon again, I'm happy to see the error directly on (as unpriviledged user bjoern: "guix package -u guix-tools"): substitute: updating substitutes from 'https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org'... 100.0% building /gnu/store/kx97aqz66lpibxjiw3g8k7xhz5mmniyp-guix-tools-0.1.0-3.295d0a0-checkout.drv... r:sha256 hash mismatch for /gnu/store/9d0djawpyjdl6jp900agmqfxrbk2vcra-guix-tools-0.1.0-3.295d0a0-checkout: expected hash: 11111111y50jcakricz36n1n5m99fxv8gxmk9ba3g0zfsl1a0918 actual hash: 06z0jhxpy50jcakricz36n1n5m99fxv8gxmk9ba3g0zfsl1a0918 hash mismatch for store item '/gnu/store/9d0djawpyjdl6jp900agmqfxrbk2vcra-guix-tools-0.1.0-3.295d0a0-checkout' build of /gnu/store/kx97aqz66lpibxjiw3g8k7xhz5mmniyp-guix-tools-0.1.0-3.295d0a0-checkout.drv failed Thanks, closing this bug.
