[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

Somewhere between these two Hydra evaluations, gnucash began failing to
build:

First failed job: https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2507218#tabs-details

Last successful job: https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2460526#tabs-details

Job history (master):
https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/master/gnucash-2.6.19.x86_64-linux

Job history (core-updates):
https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/core-updates/gnucash-2.6.19.x86_64-linux/all

Earliest failure on core-updates was on 2018-01-12:
https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2437575/nixlog/1/tail-reload

I am able to reproduce the failure on x86_64-linux GuixSD.  The error
is:

https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2507218/nixlog/1/tail-reload

I'm guessing that maybe it broke on core-updates some time before
2018-01-12.  I'll see if I can "git bisect" to find the commit that
introduced the failure.

I'm closing this bug since it was reported against 2.6.19, and we now have
GnuCash 3.0 in master (and it builds, albeit with some tests failing on
my machine. I will open a new bug for tracking this new issue).

Thank you,

Maxim
