Hi! (Cc: Maxim who may be familiar with the ‘texlive-font-maps’ hook.)
I have Guile as a channel, which provides guile@3.0.99-git. Trying to add this guile package to a profile leads to a ‘texlive-font-maps.drv’ build failure: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ guix describe -f channels (list (channel (name 'guix) (url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git") (branch "master") (commit "74e96c4cb171b17949f638d8b452d047a8f2dc6f") (introduction (make-channel-introduction "9edb3f66fd807b096b48283debdcddccfea34bad" (openpgp-fingerprint "BBB0 2DDF 2CEA F6A8 0D1D E643 A2A0 6DF2 A33A 54FA")))) (channel (name 'guile) (url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guile.git") (branch "main") (commit "1ae50a7f80654f04d93d900e17f3160205700a75")) (channel (name 'shepherd) (url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/shepherd.git") (branch "master") (commit "ab0c7ec989d3afe1933aebb2e03c1d6ecb558ca6") (introduction (make-channel-introduction "788a6d6f1d5c170db68aa4bbfb77024fdc468ed3" (openpgp-fingerprint "3CE4 6455 8A84 FDC6 9DB4 0CFB 090B 1199 3D9A EBB5"))))) $ guix build guile /gnu/store/1cssq3p4ndi4rvly5w607q7chrg2sj3v-guile-3.0.99-git-debug /gnu/store/qndx3hp7cv5z8mv899k58gr9ampaa4g0-guile-3.0.99-git $ guix show guile@3.0.99-git |grep location location: guile-package.scm:51:4 $ guix shell guile -- guile The following derivation will be built: /gnu/store/pih50yd938jz3h6zkz0kd5jffkxagp3l-profile.drv builder for `/gnu/store/8d71qslw04hz3dc9gk8yfp0gcp9z03bx-texlive-font-maps' failed previously (cached) build of /gnu/store/6h3k74mn5wpgcy0mqzh1zfa6r207jsqf-texlive-font-maps.drv failed View build log at '/var/log/guix/drvs/6h/3k74mn5wpgcy0mqzh1zfa6r207jsqf-texlive-font-maps.drv.gz'. cannot build derivation `/gnu/store/pih50yd938jz3h6zkz0kd5jffkxagp3l-profile.drv': 1 dependencies couldn't be built guix shell: error: build of `/gnu/store/pih50yd938jz3h6zkz0kd5jffkxagp3l-profile.drv' failed --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The log file for texlive-font-maps.drv ends with: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- updmap: open() failed: No such file or directory at /gnu/store/fd38qipvckr2jkkq2xja1n3rb9xz334r-texlive-bin-20210325/bin/updmap line 2158. updmap [ERROR]: The following map file(s) couldn't be found: updmap [ERROR]: dvips35.map (in builtin) updmap [ERROR]: pdftex35.map (in builtin) updmap [ERROR]: ps2pk35.map (in builtin) updmap [ERROR]: Did you run mktexlsr?

How does this happen? I think there’s a logic failure in this bit of ‘texlive-font-maps’ in (guix profiles): (mlet %store-monad ((texlive-base (manifest-lookup-package manifest "texlive-base"))) (if texlive-base (gexp->derivation "texlive-font-maps" build #:substitutable? #f #:local-build? #t #:properties `((type . profile-hook) (hook . texlive-font-maps))) (return #f))) In this case, ‘texlive-base’ is found among the native inputs of guile@3.0.99-git. However, the profile itself contains zero texlive-* packages, hence the failure. There are probably two things to fix: 1. The ‘manifest-lookup-package’ check seems inconsistent with what’s passed to ‘union-build’. 2. Perhaps the builder shouldn’t fail anyway when given an empty /tmp/texlive. Thoughts? Ludo’.
