Commit f304c9c fixes that. Now the result is something like this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ./pre-inst-env guix build abiword -n
guix build: error: reference to invalid output 'binfds' of derivation
'/gnu/store/7lxd5yri8s4vkailk1jg5bxiqrshblj1-glib-2.42.1.drv'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
It doesn’t say the context in which that invalid reference occurred, but
it’s already much better.
Note that at the lowest level it’s possible to create a derivation that
refers to a non-existent output of some other derivation. The problem
will go unnoticed until the ‘build-derivations’ RPC is called.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
