I suppose this is Guix 0.8.2 on top of another distribution, right? Did you install from source or from the binary tarball? Did you enable substitutes (info "(guix) Substitutes")? I just rebuilt it on my laptop (on GuixSD) and /gnu/store/hs7ldmg9ix8irdw5gj4vr55ml8m08723-tar-1.28 (x86_64-linux) builds fine; same on Hydra. > ## ---------------------- ## > ## Detailed failed tests. ## > ## ---------------------- ## > > # -*- compilation -*- > 161. remfiles08a.at:28: testing remove-files deleting two subdirs in > -c/non-incr. mode ... > ./remfiles08a.at:31: > mkdir gnu > (cd gnu > TEST_TAR_FORMAT=gnu > export TEST_TAR_FORMAT > TAR_OPTIONS="-H gnu" > export TAR_OPTIONS > rm -rf * > > mkdir foo > mkdir bar > echo foo/foo_file > foo/foo_file > echo bar/bar_file > bar/bar_file > decho A > tar -cvf foo.tar --remove-files -C foo . -C ../bar . > decho B > find . > ) > --- - 2015-05-17 06:46:28.337894209 +0000 > +++ > /tmp/nix-build-tar-1.28.drv-0/tar-1.28/tests/testsuite.dir/at-groups/161/stdout > 2015-05-17 06:46:28.329525786 +0000 > @@ -6,4 +6,5 @@ > B > . > ./foo.tar > +./bar Sounds like ‘bar’ is expected to be removed but is not. > 161. remfiles08a.at:28: 161. remove-files deleting two subdirs in > -c/non-incr. mode (remfiles08a.at:28): FAILED (remfiles08a.at:31) > > # -*- compilation -*- > 163. remfiles08c.at:28: testing remove-files deleting two subdirs in -r mode > ... > ./remfiles08c.at:31: > mkdir gnu > (cd gnu > TEST_TAR_FORMAT=gnu > export TEST_TAR_FORMAT > TAR_OPTIONS="-H gnu" > export TAR_OPTIONS > rm -rf * > > > test -z "`sort < /dev/null 2>&1`" || exit 77 > > mkdir foo > mkdir bar > echo foo/foo_file > foo/foo_file > echo bar/bar_file > bar/bar_file > tar -cf foo.tar -C foo . -C ../bar . > decho A > find . | sort > decho B > tar -rvf foo.tar --remove-files -C foo . -C ../bar . > decho C > find . > ) > --- - 2015-05-17 06:46:28.468176642 +0000 > +++ > /tmp/nix-build-tar-1.28.drv-0/tar-1.28/tests/testsuite.dir/at-groups/163/stdout > 2015-05-17 06:46:28.457525791 +0000 > @@ -13,4 +13,5 @@ > C > . > ./foo.tar > +./bar > > 163. remfiles08c.at:28: 163. remove-files deleting two subdirs in -r mode > (remfiles08c.at:28): FAILED (remfiles08c.at:31) Same story here. I don’t fully understand the tests, but they seem to be testing a deterministic property. Now, there are several tests creating files/directories call ‘bar’; they may run in parallel, and it’s not clear to me whether or not they’re using separate directories. Does the build succeed if you run it another time with: guix build tar -K -c 1 Thanks in advance, Ludo’.
