Hello, writing to guix-devel first, since I am not sure whether I should file a bug report. When reconfiguring my virtual machine today after I had added a virtual host to nginx, it failed with the following error message:
... creating nginx log directory '/var/log/nginx' creating nginx run directory '/var/run/nginx' creating nginx temp directories '/var/run/nginx/{client_body,proxy,fastcgi,uwsgi,scgi}_temp' nginx: [alert] could not open error log file: open() "/gnu/store/pp71iff1qxwhh82vm34g18h9kmn0xrg5-nginx-1.13.9/logs/error.log" failed (2: No such file or directory) nginx: the configuration file /gnu/store/5ixkryw6jl32cm6d1g9jb8dm9rbz8csc-nginx.conf syntax is ok nginx: configuration file /gnu/store/5ixkryw6jl32cm6d1g9jb8dm9rbz8csc-nginx.conf test is successful `/gnu/store/zchh8s3r1bbmia3zfxsyhsz3c4b9fmps-openssh-authorized-keys/root' -> `/etc/ssh/authorized_keys.d/root' `/gnu/store/zchh8s3r1bbmia3zfxsyhsz3c4b9fmps-openssh-authorized-keys/andreas' -> `/etc/ssh/authorized_keys.d/andreas' guix system: loading new services: user-homes term-auto nginx... shepherd: Evaluating user expression (register-services (primitive-load "/gnu/st?") ?). guix system: error: exception caught while executing 'eval' on service 'root': find-long-options: unbound variable And then the nginx service had disappeared. Even "guix system roll-back" did not bring it back. Since then I am trying to recompile a more recent git checkout, so I can probably not reproduce the problem. But does it ring a bell? Andreas
