Subject: guix build fails when debugging is enabled with --debug
Date: Mon, 26 May 2025 17:07:25 -0500
Hello,

Most builds fail when debugging is enabled by the calling script. This
seems to be related to displaying build progress, so it will *not* fail
if the requirements are already available in the store.

```console
$ guix describe -f channels-sans-intro
(list (channel
        (name 'guix)
        (url "https://git.guix.gnu.org/guix.git")
        (branch "master")
        (commit
          "36bd8e176c1befcc4d959fb1662d8c3e3d0e2474")))

$ guix gc -D /gnu/store/*-hello-*

$ guix build --debug=1 --file=test.scm --no-substitutes
