Installer fails on install disk built from master |
Date: |
Sat, 11 Jan 2020 15:48:10 +0100 |
Hello,
I noticed that the install disk created on current master can't
install the system.
This is on:
e4c9ba4da2a6faf80209488d5c086ea0d5c39214
.
I have found a reproducer that might highlight where the problem is.
Steps to reproduce:
1. guix pull
2. build the installer image
guix system disk-image --file-system-type=iso9660 \
gnu/system/install.scm
3. boot it
4. switch to tty3
5. create a file gexp.scm with this content:
(use-modules
(gnu packages package-management)
(guix gexp))
(program-file
"a"
(with-extensions
(list guix)
#~(#t)))
6. guix build -f gexp.scm
This will fail with as strange error message.
This same problem causes the final installation failure in the installer.
This works fine on the latest installation image.
This works if you run it again after it fails.
Any help on debugging this further would be appreciated.
Best regards,
g_bor

Fixed by e2922f527ee8d891a41b5086637fa560a1c2ddd8! I’ll update the
‘guix’ package shortly.
This was tricky to reproduce because it depends on what’s in your store
and what’s in /var/guix/substitute/cache.
I managed to reproduce it first in a VM following your instructions, and
then on a local instance of guix-daemon where I had wiped
/var/guix/substitute/cache and also changed the condition in
‘http-multiple-get’ to exercise the “Connection: close” case (which is
otherwise infrequent.)
Thanks a lot for your investigation, which helped a lot!
Ludo’.
