Hello everyone,
I was trying to upgrade my packages and Borg (the backup program) has been
taking over an hour already. I have eventually decided to cancel the upgrade
process and tried upgrading all packages except Borg. The upgrade process
finished without problems in a reasonable amount of time, so it is definitely
Borg where things get stuck.
I'm running Guix version 8cc3983a4d02a15ad4a863671c1a5a8b2b542625 after
having run `guix pull` today. Here is the output of top:

It's probably stuck in the tests:
https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/4350
Whether or not it gets stuck seems host-specific. It works on some
machines and not others. I recommend just waiting a while for a
substitute to become available.
I don't want to disable the tests here until we understand what's going
on — otherwise we might miss some real issue in how the software is
being built on the machines where the tests get stuck.

Interrupting after an hour is a bit too soon to say it's stuck.
Just from experience, many backup programmes tend to have long
test suites (a trait which they share with many databases and
compressors, probably because they're a bit of both). The build
was chugging along. What did the log say was happening?
What is strange here is that you didn't get a substitute for Borg.
I did[0]. Are you deliberately building Borg locally?
Kind regards,

Sounds plausible. I'll just wait then, it's not like I need the update
urgently.

Yes, sounds reasonable.

No, I just let it upgrade like any other of my packages, and the other
packages upgraded within a reasonable timeframe (I haven't timed it, but let's
just say ten minutes or so). My first attempt to upgrade ran for I think three
hours (after typing `guix package -u` to upgrade all packages), but that's
just what it felt like, I was not timing it. Borg was the first package to get
upgraded, so I wasn't sure if it was a problem with Borg or a general
upgrading problem. Then I upgraded all packages except Borg and finally tried
upgrading only Borg alone. After that second attempt I sent the email.

I'll note that I hit this problem today too. I did a guix package
upgrade and came back about 6 hours later to see what packages had been
upgraded. Sadly it had spent all day spinning its wheels on Borg. :(
