Hi Guix, Commit e8518c43 (gnu: Add stex) breaks guix pull, specifically the package cache hook, on i686-linux. I.e. the following command
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- guix pull --commit=e8518c43 --system=i686-linux -p /tmp/guix --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- fails like this: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- [...] building package cache... /builder for `/gnu/store/f1j059k0x7hpqmhwgyar6761c6jrw4iw-guix-package-cache.drv' failed to produce output path `/gnu/store/0z272l1izcm45ynwfzz5vvnnhg4ik1ij-guix-package-cache' build of /gnu/store/f1j059k0x7hpqmhwgyar6761c6jrw4iw-guix-package-cache.drv failed View build log at '/var/log/guix/drvs/f1/j059k0x7hpqmhwgyar6761c6jrw4iw-guix-package-cache.drv.gz'. cannot build derivation `/gnu/store/cm9wh5fv3a94cbpb839dhbf2wf31zg7r-profile.drv': 1 dependencies couldn't be built guix pull: error: build of `/gnu/store/cm9wh5fv3a94cbpb839dhbf2wf31zg7r-profile.drv' failed --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The build log looks like this: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (repl-version 0 1 1) Generating package cache for '/gnu/store/dzcm0fk5a41bwmhy74sv0v2bvmapx5qy-profile'...
