Git error: object not found when running guix system reconfigure

Git error: object not found when running guix system reconfigure

[Sergiu Ivanov]

Hi,

I am running into the following issue since yesterday: when I do

guix pull
sudo guix system reconfigure <path-to-my-system-configuration.scm>

I get

ice-9/boot-9.scm:1685:16: In procedure raise-exception:
Git error: object not found - no match for id (0792d9946602a54a5318f7818cfe3307e9ef333d)

The full error message is at the bottom of the mail.

On the other hand, running guix system reconfigure *without* sudo does
not lead to this error, and everything seems to work out normally
(except the final switch to the new configuration).  Also, if I switch
to the latest working guix generation using
guix pull --switch-generation, everything works again.

I dug out this issue https://issues.guix.gnu.org/40769 and tried
deleting ~/.cache/guix/checkouts, but this had no effect.

Does this happen to anyone else?

Do you think it is something transient which I just have to wait out, or
did I accidentally break something on my machine? (unfair question,
obviously :D)

Hi,

I have the same issue.

Deleting /root/.cache/guix/checkouts fixes it for me temporarily.

Hi, Sergiu. A few more users reported similar issues. There is an open
report for it at: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/66169

So, it does not seem to be a simple misconfiguration, unfortunately.

Thank Jussi and Roman for your answers!

Deleting /root/.cache/guix/checkouts allowed me to bypass the
issue indeed.

Yes.  The culprit was ’reference-available?’ and removing the checkout
implies this procedure is called.

Now, the issue should be fixed.

Sorry for the annoyance.

Cheers,
