Could you post the lines preceding this error message? I just experienceda similar case, and the real error happened before (a package needed to becompiled first and failed).
Could you please send the output of guix --versionand guix describe?
Thanks,
Andreas

This looks like nscd is not running.
The manual says this:
2.6.2 Name Service Switch -------------------------
When using Guix on a foreign distro, we _strongly recommend_ that the system run the GNU C library’s “name service cache daemon”, ‘nscd’, which should be listening on the ‘/var/run/nscd/socket’ socket. Failing to do that, applications installed with Guix may fail to look up host names or user accounts, or may even crash.
Could you check that NSCD is in fact available and running?

Hello,
I rolled back all my generations (I hope this is good - with command guix package --roll-back)
$ guix package -i python python-numpy python-condaLes paquets suivants seront installés : python 3.7.0 /gnu/store/9z98cvjm7p7z21xdid1ryydxy5vyz6wr-python-3.7.0 python-numpy 1.15.4 /gnu/store/hsdzxq5jvb96yffnxqp8h4lq5z59r29k-python-numpy-1.15.4 python-conda 4.3.16 /gnu/store/gabw5n3216xzbbsjsc5j5vhjpninanyh-python-conda-4.3.16
$ eval `guix package --search-paths=prefix`
It seems there is no issue.
nscd seems to be launched. I am not admin on the server.$ ps aux | grep nscdvrou001 25642 0.0 0.0 112688 976 pts/37 S+ 17:46 0:00 grep --color=auto nscdnscd 135028 0.0 0.0 768500 4020 ? Ssl févr.11 2:17 /usr/sbin/nscd
Maybe this is not a guix bug but a server issue.Sorry for the noise, I will see with the admin.
Regards,
Vincent Rouvreau

This is likely related to https://bugs.gnu.org/30298.
If so, the solution is to either use nscd, as Ricardo suggested, or toedit '/etc/nsswitch.conf'.

Actually nscd *is* running but it’s been misconfigured on these machinessince a couple of weeks or so—the sysadmins are aware of it and willtake a look shortly.
What happens is that nscd returns nothing for “passwd” database lookupsand as a result, the application (in this case Guile) falls back to itslocal NSS implementation, which in turns tries to load an incompatiblelibnss*.so file, leading to this lookup failure.
Anyway, this really looks like a setup issue on this machine, so I’mclosing this bug and we can discuss it further with the admins ifneeded, Vincent.
Thanks,Ludo’.
