Hi Ada,

Following commit 93474f92886fac8a2e5eb0eb3b388654246d640d (cc'ing
Ludo' as the author of this commit), I have identified build failures
in several packages as they have tests that require modifying the
build tree in some way. These include scons, ruby and go. I'm sure
there are other packages that are affected by this.
Could you explain how to reproduce the problem?
Simply building the packages from source with tests will result in a
build failure.
In particular, are you on Guix System or on a foreign distro? In the
latter case, is guix-daemon running as an unprivileged user¹ or as root?
What version of guix-daemon is running, as shown by “pgrep -fa
guix-daemon”?
I am running on Guix System, so my daemon is still privileged.
You mention scons, ruby, and go. Is “guix build scons” enough to
trigger the problem?
Forcing a rebuild with no substitutes ie. `guix build --no-substitutes
--no-grafts --check scons` will result in a failed build.
Thanks for reporting the problem!
You're welcome! I just noticed this problem as I was building some
packages from scratch.
