It looks as though /etc/nsswitch.conf disappeared while ‘guix pull’ was
running.  Could it be what happened?

The daemon currently assumes that this file exists.  We could remove
that assumption since I think glibc is happy when it doesn’t exist, but
that still looks weird.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

I have no idea what happened. Only that I was encouraged to send the bug 
report - so I did.

Does the file /etc/nsswitch.conf exist on your system?
Also, what distribution are you using?  Guix System, or a foreign distro
like Debian, Fedora, ...?

Greetings,
Maxime.

bug#47760: Daemon fails to create build environment when /etc/nsswitch.conf is missing

[András Vöröskői]

Hi,

I can confirm this issue on a foreign install with alpine base. Alpine
do not provide /etc/nsswitch.conf file by default, I have found plenty
docker/go issues about it. I think alpine should provide this file,
OTOH guix-daemon should not fail just because this one is missing.
