failing to build util-linux 2.35.1

I'm consistently running into this error when running `guix pull`.

What can I do to help debug?

Test suite failed, dumping logs.

@ build-log 30965 53

command "make" "check" "-j" "4" failed with status 2

Try using 'guix pull --keep-failed' and inspect the util-linux test

suite logs in /tmp/guix-build-util-linux-2.35.1.drv-0.

Did you intentionally disable binary substitutes?

Hi Josh,

[+ debbugs, please keep it in CC]

Can you attach

/var/log/guix/drvs/c7/0j91pkiv8qyazpv357ccc2jfjz91yw-util-linux-2.35.1.drv.bz2

to this bug report?

There should be a test suite summary that we can use to corroborate the

below results with.

Will do, sorry about that.

Attached. Looks like those three that I mentioned. Anything else look

interesting in there?

Thanks to a great coordinated effort on #guix, we tracked this problem

down to a regression in kernels 5.4.36 through 5.4.41 (or 5.6.8 through

5.6.13 for users tracking that branch).

You are running 5.4.38 according to the build log.

It has been fixed in the latest kernel releases (5.4.42 and 5.6.14).

I'm afraid you will have to downgrade your kernel in order to upgrade

Guix! :-/

Ahh. Thanks for the response!

How do I do that? I would assume it would be documented here[0], but I

can't seem to find it anywhere in the manual.

There are a couple of options. The easiest way is to boot into an older

generation before running 'guix pull', if you have any generations with

kernel < 5.4.36 lying around.

Another is to pin the kernel to an older revision of Guix using an

"inferior". You would have to update your system configuration along

these lines:

Then reconfigure and reboot, of course.

Hope this helps!

This worked! Thanks for the response. Sorry for the delay.. it took

awhile to update :)

Great, thanks for confirming. Closing the issue!
