Hi Guix!

When installing Guix on a new machine (foreign distro), substitute were not properly set up:

…
Permit downloading pre-built package binaries from the project's build farm? (yes/no) yes
/home/roptat/guix-install.sh: line 445: /root/.config/guix/current/share/guix/ci.guix.gnu.org.pub: No such file or directory

That was the latest version of the script downloaded from savannah. It downloaded and installed the 1.2.0 tarball.

I was able to fix that later manually, but let's make sure the script doesn't fail like that with the release :)

I ran the script, following the instructions in the manual, on a fresh
Debian system. I had no problems.

I also ran the script, not following the instructions exactly, but
instead doing `sudo ./guix-install.sh`, and it still worked fine. I
thought that maybe there were some 'sudo' vs 'sudo --login' shenanigans,
but nothing went wrong.

Can anybody reproduce this bug?

I don’t see how this can happen: ‘sys_create_store’ creates
~root/.config/guix/current, before ‘sys_authorize_build_farms’ runs.

Can you reproduce it, Julien?

Alternatively, could you paste the complete output of the
guix-install.sh script when it failed?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

We see these lines:

  [ INFO ] Installing /var/guix and /gnu...
  [ INFO ] Linking the root user's profile
  [ PASS ] activated root profile at /root/.config/guix/current

which is evidence that ~root/.config/guix/current was created and is not
a dangling symlink.  Further more, the binary tarball does contain that
.pub file:

So I don’t see what happened.

Julien, could it be that “something else” removed /root/.config or
/var/guix/profiles while it was running?  Or… any other idea?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Following our discussion on IRC, it seems likely that “something”
interfered with the installation process.  Closing as “notabug”.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
