Hello,
Thank you for your reply. The GuixSD version is 0.8.1. I figured part of the
problem was with libarchive not
being the pre-built binary. I even tried reassuring that hydra was authorized,
which apparently had no effect
on the outcome. Also, while using Guix as a package manager on my host system
(Fedora 21), I attempted to
install the package 'dfc' from source (not binary) and I encountered the
libarchive-3.1.2.drv error there as well, so I checked the build log located at
/tmp/nix-build*-libarchive-3.1.2.drv/.../test_option_b.log, and it mentioned
that "File archive1.tar has size
3072, expected 2048" and that "bsdtar does not pad archives written directly to
regular files". I hope this
information helps narrow down the issue. Do you have any suggestions as to how
this could be resolved?
Best Regards,
Jeffrey
