Hello there,

I am porting ocl-icd to guix, see the package here:


I'm getting bugged by this error everytime I call the build as such from a
dev setup:

env TEMPDIR=/gnu/tmp GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH=../guix-bioinformatics
./pre-inst-env guix build -K ocl-icd

Error encountered:

guix build: error: build failed: error parsing derivation
`/gnu/store/7f9hwk8v9vzghc93m93y94iibvcc3mvd-ruby-2.3.0.tar.xz.drv':
expected string `Derive(['

The same also happens when I attempt to install any ruby related utilities:


guix package -p ~/opt/guix-build-system -i ruby-yard
warning: failed to install locale: Invalid argument
guix package: error: build failed: error parsing derivation
`/gnu/store/7f9hwk8v9vzghc93m93y94iibvcc3mvd-ruby-2.3.0.tar.xz.drv':
expected string `Derive(['

A bug, perhaps?

Regards,

Dennis.

Note that setting TEMPDIR here (or even TMPDIR) has no effect, since
it’s the ‘guix-daemon’ process, not ‘guix build’, that creates temporary
files.

Could you send the content of the file above?

It looks like your store may be be corrupt. Did you modify files by
hand under /gnu/store? This would void your warranty. :-)

Thanks,

Hello,

And a small update:

After running the garbage collector, the problem went away (And saved me
about 20GBs under /gnu/store).

I'm suspecting this was a corrupt store.

OK, we’ll never know. Make sure to never ever modify files under
/gnu/store and you should be fine.

Thanks,
