gc failing

gc failing

[Hinko Kocevar]

Hi,

I'm exploring the guix a bit for a project at hand.
I'm trying to wrap my head around the whole thing so bear with me. I was quite puzzled by the Schema at first, coming from C/Python here, but after a couple of days I'm doing some serious hacking by adding new packages to local guix checkout.. 

I have checked out git tree and managed to get development going - I can see stuff appear in the store!!

For some reason I started getting gc errors as these:

hinxx@obzen ~/guix/guix.git [dev]$ ./pre-inst-env guix gc --list-dead
finding garbage collector roots...
guix gc: error: build failed: program `/gnu/store/pii5cimi72lj5l7793h54g5sg0sr2apl-guix-0.14.0/libexec/guix/list-runtime-roots' failed with exit code 1

I was removing some stale entries as per manual.

A general question, should I worry about all the builds of the package in store for the one I'm developing?

Thank you in advance,
Hinko

This was fixed shortly after the 0.14.0 release:
<https://bugs.gnu.org/29862>.

I’d encourage you to upgrade your daemon.  If you installed Guix using
the binary tarball on a “foreign distro”, you can do that by running
these commands as root:

  guix pull
  guix package -u guix
  systemctl restart guix-daemon.service  # or similar

HTH!

Hi Ludovic,

nice. .. guix pull is already underway .. it seems it want to compile all the packages... no problem.
