The latest build has all the output: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/171993/log/raw . Regarding ‘chgrp/basic’, the test finds groups='30000 65534'. However, 65534 corresponds to ‘nogroup’. (The build process runs under a special user, typically: $ id nixbld1 uid=30001(nixbld1) gid=65534(nogroup) groups=30000(nixbld),65534(nogroup) ) Subsequent failures (e.g., ‘chown/separator’) seem to have the same root. Thanks, Ludo’.
