Hello there,

I was running guix pull, when a short-cirguit in my power supply cable
turned my old laptop off.

Having fixed the hardware issue, I am left with the following software
problem when running `guix pull` on my user session:

Toggle quote (2 lines)
> guix pull: error: Git error: object not found - no match for id (aa78c596c9eaae946f779d8fa3c4125d08187648)

mbakke on #guix:matrix.org advised me to report here, I hope that's useful.

Meanwhile, I'd at least like the path of that git repository so that I
can try to fix things myself :)

Have a nice day, thank you for your time and software.

It should be somewhere in ~/.cache/guix

‘guix pull’ maintains Git clones under ~/.cache/guix/checkouts.
Probably the hardware issue led to a corrupt checkout there, hence the
error above. You fix that by running:

rm -rf ~/.cache/guix/checkouts

before running ‘guix pull’ again.

HTH!

What is the naming scheme? Especially how is computed the hash of the
folder name?

And not relevant considering this bug: could the first commit after
the big overhaul (inferior) be tagged? i.e., all the commits "after"
this tag are reachable with say "guix time-machine".


Cheers,
simon
