After a re-boot it went away.

I had tried pulling for a while assuming a network issue.
But didn't try a reboot.

Ouch, apologies for that (I did test on all 4 platforms before pushing
and didn’t stumble upon this issue.)

The log you posted is mangled.  Do you have a clearer one at hand?

Yeah.

Thanks,

I downloaded it from here, and it works:

https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=48392#5

But now I've attached it uncompressed; it's only 281 KiB.

Hi Leo,

I can’t seem to reproduce it in the Guile build tree, neither with:

  while ./check-guile suspendable-ports.test ; do : ; done

nor with:

  while ./check-guile ; do : ; done

We’ll have to try to gather more info if it comes up again, or see if
there are configs that trigger it more easily.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

It's happening again for the ungrafting evaluation:

https://ci.guix.gnu.org/eval/45377/log/raw (sorry, this log is unhelpful)
https://ci.guix.gnu.org/eval/45377

And Chris Baines sees it in the Guix Data Service too:

http://data.guix.gnu.org/gnu/store/djr1vmhnl8z8yy4ymkszw5srvfmfv943-guile-3.0.7.drv

For now I'm doing something like `guix gc --clear-failures
/gnu/store/...-guile-3.0.7 && guix build /gnu/store/...-guile-3.0.7.drv`
in a loop on the Berlin server.

Hi all,

I’m also encountering this exact error when time-machining from 0961807915d7955e70a081272d857b6cbf92c0c8 to 83d9e2ee56cb0ca2a644074ad232503e25ac7116

I’m able to reproduce this (I’ve tried building the derivation 5 times now with different --cores, and this error happens every time)

Build logs here: https://nextcloud.carl.homeserver.net/s/yas2SwmST8Z3jRG
Keep-failed directory here: https://nextcloud.carl.homeserver.net/s/sSrjPZn5NqikeoJ

My system:
- AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2970WX 24-Core Processor
- Guix on Arch Linux
- tmpfs mounted on /tmp

Hi guilers and guix,

I (and some other people) encountered this bug:

https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=43521#11
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=45788
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/48389#8

There is already a fix:

https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=43521#11

Apparently it is already applied on Debian:

https://salsa.debian.org/rlb/deb-guile/-/commit/9fae58b134d8951e15b39b8e1751160a245228a6
https://salsa.debian.org/rlb/deb-guile/-/blob/f24ab0150132d906b9724128576c36c39361cab7/debian/patches/0007-Fix-non-revealed-port-is-closed-ports.test.patch

Maybe it can be applied now on 'main'? 

Also, could it be added to the 'patches' in Guix?

Greetings,
Maxime.

Hopefully solved by the passage of time, closing since we are at 3.0.9 now.
