Оfficial source tarball from https://guix.gnu.org/en/download/, probably v1.2.0 (d5b556eef57321d0be89fdb07db447b2db2718ed) > Did you do > > guix environment guix > ./bootstrap > ./configure --localstatedir=/var/ > make > make check > > ? Or something else? > Or are you trying to bootstrap Guix on foreign distro? Basically the same steps only without --localstatedir (it seems to default to /var) and guix environment stuff, as guix is not installed in the system yet. I have installed the prerequisites manually or from a foreign distro package manager, so to my mind it probably does not count as ``bootstrapping''. >> FAIL: tests/lint >> ================ > > [...] > > >> test-name: archival: missing content >> location: /home/taxus/downloads/distro/guix/guix-1.2.0/tests/lint.scm:921 >> source: >> + (test-assert >> + "archival: missing content" >> + (let* ((origin >> + (origin >> + (method url-fetch) >> + (uri "http://example.org/foo.tgz") >> + (sha256 (make-bytevector 32)))) >> + (warnings >> + (with-http-server >> + '((404 "Not archived.")) >> + (parameterize >> + ((%swh-base-url (%local-url))) >> + (check-archival >> + (dummy-package "x" (source origin))))))) >> + (warning-contains?

I got guile from the foreign distro package manager, so it was an obvious suspect, but upon inspection [1] it is just vanilla guile 2.2.6 without any distro-specific patches. [1] https://gitea.artixlinux.org/artixlinux/packages/src/branch/master/guile/repos/extra-x86_64/PKGBUILD Could you please clarify which additional info can I provide to identify the root of the issue?

An attempt to unpack the tarball quite expectedly results in tar: ./opt/gnu/bin: Cannot hard link to './opt/gnu/bin': No such file or directory as the hardlink creation erases the file it wants to reference in the first place.. >> >> Backtrace: >> In ice-9/boot-9.scm: >> [...] >> ERROR: In procedure scm-error: >> no code for module (ssh key) > > It seems a misconfiguration of your environment. It is likely the case, however, I would like to setup offloading once guix is working, so for now I have commented out the test in question to get any sort of report. Thanks for the reply!
