What does ‘guix build guix -n’ display?

TIA,

I think there are 2 separate issues here:

1. A failed test: I can't reproduce it using the latest git checkout (at
   commit 61c30e9), I mean all tests pass.

2. Jean: did you find a way how to receive substitutes from hydra?  When
   you sent this bug report, guix was built on your computer, but
   (AFAIK) since then you made "guix pull" successfully, so now you
   don't have such problems anymore, right?

Hello,

This command:

guix build guix -n

takes long long time to finish. And I can see multiple lines like:

substitute: guix substitute: warning: while fetching
http://hydra.gnu.org/nix-cache-info: server is somewhat slow

The result of that command is following:

The following files would be downloaded:
   /gnu/store/3lg5c1nidbj0kjdz5b63hn3vp29kzf0s-guix-0.9.0.c3f29bc
   /gnu/store/6gl0rzlbzsq4nywr5ma9rnfyvs8mbsgq-guile-json-0.5.0
   /gnu/store/bwfr534bsfgl2a0pmxxy1ck7lz7fplsb-gzip-1.6

Other information:
I have used mirror.guixsd.org and it worked better, and I did got:

gdk-pixbuf      2.32.3  out     gnu/packages/gtk.scm:388:2

However, the reason why I needed it, is to install emacs. And what I
expect is not what I get. Sadly, this is how my emacs look like. Notice
that icons are missing. There are numerous gdk-pixbuf errors when
opening it in console.

https://rcdrun.com/images/upload/tmp/2016-03-14-10:14:22.jpg

I am thinking like this and expecting it like this:

- if I install gdk-pixbuf, the emacs shall start using it
- if I remove emacs, and install it again, I shall get new version with gdk-pixbuf

I am trying to find equivalent to: apt-get purge emacs, apt-get install
emacs -- but with -r emacs, the problem does not just get solved.

Currently, I need solution to install correct emacs. By using
mirror.guixsd.org it works better on my side, but I have already tried.
Nothing changed so far.

If it’s being downloaded, it cannot fail to build; closing this bug.
Apparently something has changed in your configuration since the initial
report?

Also, I recommend using http://mirror.guixsd.org as the substitute
server, which should be faster than hydra.gnu.org:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-03/msg00012.html

Please discuss the other issues separately, possibly on help-guix to
avoid opening a bug if it’s not a bug.  :-)
