Hi there,
This is a weird one, but after poking at it, I think it’s a Guile
bug.
Happy to be wrong about that. I can consistently reproduce it on
two
separate computers, so this isn’t a hardware failure.
To reproduce:
1. Run `git clone https://codeberg.org/ieure/guix.git'
2. Change into the guix directory and run `git checkout -b
autofs-service-type origin/autofs-service-type'
3. Save the following text into `channels.scm':
(list (channel
(name 'guix)
(url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git";)
(branch "master")
(commit
"15562902da00c97910d918c7bf825d6fc6a9f84b")
(introduction
(make-channel-introduction
"9edb3f66fd807b096b48283debdcddccfea34bad"
(openpgp-fingerprint
"BBB0 2DDF 2CEA F6A8 0D1D E643 A2A0 6DF2 A33A
54FA")))))
3. Run `guix time-machine -C channels.scm \
--commit=15562902da00c97910d918c7bf825d6fc6a9f84b -- \
shell -m manifest.scm --pure'.
4. Run `./configure && bootstrap && make -j8' (substitute whatever
numeral makes sense for your hardware).
The build will fail with this error:
error: failed to load 'gnu/build/linux-initrd.scm':
ice-9/eval.scm:293:34: In procedure symbol->string: Wrong type
argument in position 1 (expecting symbol): #:cpio
Observe that the code does not contain `#:cpio', but:
#:use-module ((guix cpio) #:prefix cpio:)
Okay, so that’s the problem. I have also observed:
- It’s caused by the changes on this branch. If you check out the
base for my changes, 15562902da00c97910d918c7bf825d6fc6a9f84b,
then
`make clean && make -j8', the build completes with no errors.
Commit 1d7afd1d44fe702236f25ab2558789de41b27ded also builds
fine.
- If you check out 15562902da00c97910d918c7bf825d6fc6a9f84b and
build
it, then check out the HEAD of autofs-service-type, it also
builds
without errors. The failure only happens if you build
autofs-service-type from a clean state.
- The only changes between
15562902da00c97910d918c7bf825d6fc6a9f84b
and 0ae700d9a7df3d1c6168932e2f72204f1a6a07f1 are to
gnu/services/nfs.scm. I am not sure why those changes would
cause a
build failure in a completely different module.
Please let me know if I can provide more information.
Thanks,
-- Ian
