At first I didn't have substitutes enabled when running "guix pull" for the first time. I then enabled substitutes, thinking it would automatically pick that up. That didn't work though.. After doing "guix gc" (presumably removing the glibc-mesboot0 derivation) I was able to complete "guix pull". I'm closing this bug report, because the actual problem looks very similar to what is described in the earlier referenced bug report. Even though I don't use an NVME drive for the filesystem that contains /gnu/store. Kind regards, Roel Janssen

No, but it is on an SSD (Samsung EVO 850), and there are two NVME drives in the system, but these are not mounted. So I think I should dodge that bug. Is there a substitute available for glibc-mesboot0? Kind regards, Roel Janssen

This has been fixed by 179e6c524ae4957e6ace83f72a5651767f786ca4. I guess that if you pull again it should be fixed. > 2.

Is your store on an NVME disk, without encryption, by any chance? Thanks, Mathieu

Dear Guix, I installed Guix System on my computer but I am facing two problems: 1. "guix pull" returns: Updating channel 'guix' from Git repository at ' https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git'... Building from these channels: guix https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git 28e9a11 guix pull: error: glibc-bootstrap-system-2.2.5.patch: patch not found I worked around that by doing: $ find /gnu/store -name "glibc-bootstrap-system-2.2.5.patch" $ mkdir ~/dummy; cd ~/dummy; ln -s $ export GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH=~/dummy Is there a proper way to fix this? 2. Installing emacs fails because the build of glibc-mesboot0 fails with: patch: Can't open patch file /gnu/store/wcz8d4vkcjs7c6m56mz3lsbkxgvnb17v-glibc-bootstrap-system- 2.2.5.patcherror 02: command "patch" "--force" "-p1" "-i" "/gnu/store/wcz8d4vkcjs7c6m56mz3lsbkxgvnb17v-glibc-bootstrap-system- 2.2.5.patch" failed with status 2 The file: /gnu/store/wcz8d4vkcjs7c6m56mz3lsbkxgvnb17v-glibc-bootstrap-system- 2.2.5.patch .. seems to be a symlink to: /gnu/store/crjgq2qq4s2cvbcb4impjpsn4wyxfgqq-guix- 28e9a11/gnu/packages/patches/glibc-bootstrap-system-2.2.5.patch I'm using: # guix --version guix (GNU Guix) 1.1.0-3.52b01cb Thanks in advance. Kind regards, Roel Janssen
