In the last day or so, I've seen three instances of an offloading error
that I'd never seen before, which causes builds to abort on Hydra. So
far, they have all been offloads from hydra.gnu.org to
hydra-slave1.netris.org, a build slave which I maintain, and which is
currently running an older version of Guix, circa 0.12.0. Here's an
excerpt of the nix log output of one of the failures:

Toggle snippet (15 lines)
these derivations will be built:

These are the instances I've seen so far:

Could you check the contents of this file? This very much suggests a
file system corruption (e.g., the file is actually empty yet considered
valid per /var/guix/db/db.sqlite.)

Thanks,

This explanation is plausible so I’m closing as not-a-bug. Please do
reopen if you think otherwise.

Thanks,
