Perhaps you’ve looked into it already? Hmm. I've briefly looked at this but failed to reproduce it. I've tried building coreutils, and coreutils-final in a childhurd created from "a recent" hurd-team branch. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- root@guixydevel ~/src/guix/hurd-team [env]# ./pre-inst-env guix build --keep-failed -e '(@@ (gnu packages commencement) coreutils-final)' --without-tests=coreutils [..] environment variable `GUIX_LOCPATH' set to `/gnu/store/sq6w1nfi59askjfq6b1nqq6z8ld5zh1l-glibc-utf8-locales-2.35/lib/locale' [..] phase `unpack' succeeded after 10.4 seconds starting phase `remove-tests' phase `remove-tests' succeeded after 0.5 seconds starting phase `bootstrap' [..] successfully built /gnu/store/zryfw42ayqpmk3s15a7s2cn231xsyjf0-coreutils-9.1.drv /gnu/store/zbdppljxvvw3vc6lz64h5ic3fvihdr7q-coreutils-9.1 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- and similar for coreutils. I've seen a similar error before trying to build guile-avahi a while ago (before 21deb89e287b5821975544118bf137562a91d4e1) and it really puzzled me. The idea that a mismatch between GUIX_LOCPATH's glibc version for locales (2.35) and the glibc actually used (2.37) would cause this mysterious bug, is kind of a relief... ...although I've got no idea what causes this mismatch or how to fix it ;) Greetings, Janneke -- Janneke Nieuwenhuizen <jann...@gnu.org> | GNU LilyPond https://LilyPond.org Freelance IT https://www.JoyOfSource.com | Avatar® https://AvatarAcademy.com
