Hello, While debugging while guix substitution would fail with a "corrupt input while restoring ..." error message, I saw in the guix-substitute strace output that it was attempting to substitute a nonexistent store item.
I then narrowed the production of such broken store item to using the following guix build options together: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ guix build hello --check --rounds=2 --keep-failed [...] successfully built /gnu/store/260bk0ch4np4h2yz5yqhf8hjbsyhwpmr-hello-2.10.drv successfully built /gnu/store/260bk0ch4np4h2yz5yqhf8hjbsyhwpmr-hello-2.10.drv /gnu/store/81bdcd5x4v50i28h98bfkvvkx9cky63w-hello-2.10 stat /gnu/store/81bdcd5x4v50i28h98bfkvvkx9cky63w-hello-2.10 stat: cannot statx '/gnu/store/81bdcd5x4v50i28h98bfkvvkx9cky63w-hello-2.10': No such file or directory --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- That's bad, especially since a subsequent 'guix build hello' doesn't fix it (it keeps the corrupted cached item, even with --check!). One needs to run $ guix gc -D /gnu/store/81bdcd5x4v50i28h98bfkvvkx9cky63w-hello-2.10 $ guix build hello to recover :-/. This bug was probably exposed via 0fa0e8df60b0b005a8d9499562464c5a66218a5b, which enabled using --check along with --rounds. Thanks, Maxim
