And to do that, you can use (erase-current-line port).

Though actually I think this should be done in ‘print-build-event’ in
(guix status).  Probably something like the patch below, but I haven’t
been able to quickly reproduce the initial problem.

Could you give it a spin (ah ha!) and report back?

If it doesn’t solve the issue, we should strace the thing to see why it
keeps spinning after everything is “done” basically.

Thanks,
