Hello Vagrant and all, We’ve been recommending the Debian package as one of the easy way to get Guix installed. However, it currently lacks zstd support (with guile-zstd):
https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/guix The consequence is that it guix-daemon crashes badly when talking to substitute servers where nothing but zstd is enabled, such as https://guix.bordeaux.inria.fr: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ guix build pastix substitute: updating substitutes from 'https://ci.guix.gnu.org'... 100.0% substitute: updating substitutes from 'https://guix.bordeaux.inria.fr'... 100.0% substitute: Backtrace: substitute: In ice-9/boot-9.scm: substitute: 1752:10 17 (with-exception-handler _ _ #:unwind? _ # _) substitute: In unknown file: substitute: 16 (apply-smob/0 #<thunk 735d7f915300>) substitute: In ice-9/boot-9.scm: substitute: 724:2 15 (call-with-prompt _ _ #<procedure default-prompt-handle…>) substitute: In ice-9/eval.scm: substitute: 619:8 14 (_ #(#(#<directory (guile-user) 735d7f918c80>))) substitute: In guix/ui.scm: substitute: 2275:7 13 (run-guix . _) substitute: 2238:10 12 (run-guix-command _ . _) substitute: In ice-9/boot-9.scm: substitute: 1752:10 11 (with-exception-handler _ _ #:unwind? _ # _) substitute: 1752:10 10 (with-exception-handler _ _ #:unwind? _ # _) substitute: In guix/scripts/substitute.scm: substitute: 842:18 9 (_) substitute: 352:7 8 (process-query #<output: file 4> _ #:cache-urls _ #:acl _) substitute: In srfi/srfi-1.scm: substitute: 634:9 7 (for-each #<procedure 735d7c38df80 at guix/scripts/sub…> …) substitute: In guix/scripts/substitute.scm: substitute: 297:13 6 (_ #<<narinfo> path: "/gnu/store/y4qhgdhgy7np5v1lnsqvm1…>) substitute: In guix/narinfo.scm: substitute: 346:2 5 (narinfo-best-uri _ #:fast-decompression? _) substitute: In ice-9/boot-9.scm: substitute: 1685:16 4 (raise-exception _ #:continuable? _) substitute: 1685:16 3 (raise-exception _ #:continuable? _) substitute: 1780:13 2 (_ #<&compound-exception components: (#<&error> #<&orig…>) substitute: 1685:16 1 (raise-exception _ #:continuable? _) substitute: 1685:16 0 (raise-exception _ #:continuable? _) substitute: substitute: ice-9/boot-9.scm:1685:16: In procedure raise-exception: substitute: Throw to key `match-error' with args `("match" "no matching pattern" ())'. guix build: error: `/usr/bin/guix substitute' died unexpectedly --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Would it be possible to add guile-zstd as a dependency of the Debian ‘guix’ package? This alone would noticeably improve user experience. (I know this should be a Debian bug report, but I’m sorta acting as a proxy. :-)) Thanks, Ludo’.
