When I run a command such as:

guix challenge --verbose --diff=diffoscope gavl 2>&1 | tee gavl

It works for the most part, producing the diffoscope output, but ends
with a bunch of warnings regarding removing the temporary directory it
created to compare the files:

warning: failed to delete /tmp/guix-directory.5TokII/share/doc: Permission denied
warning: failed to delete /tmp/guix-directory.5TokII/share: Permission denied
warning: failed to delete /tmp/guix-directory.5TokII: Directory not empty

The permissions on the directory are read-only, which is presumably why
it cannot remove them:

$ ls -latr /tmp/guix-directory.5TokII/
total 28
dr-xr-xr-x 3 vagrant vagrant 4096 Dec 31 1969 share
dr-xr-xr-x 3 vagrant vagrant 4096 Dec 31 1969 lib
dr-xr-xr-x 3 vagrant vagrant 4096 Dec 31 1969 include
dr-xr-xr-x 5 vagrant vagrant 4096 Dec 31 1969 .
drwxrwxrwt 168 root root 12288 Jun 5 09:28 ..


The warnings are at best distracting, and at worst end up effectively
making it impossible to see the diffoscope output without redirecting to
a file, as the source files can take up many many lines in the scroll
buffer.


live well,
