This means that if someone (like me) configured the host Guix with --prefix=/usr/local, the directory will be installed into /usr/local/var/guix, which won't work, and will cause the installed guix to see an empty /gnu/store. This is dangerous because then, it will try to download glibc, and while doing that, it will delete the existing one in /gnu/store, and kill the operating system. Workarounds: 1. Configure the host guix with --prefix=/ or 2. Once the system is initialized, move the var/guix folder (eg, from /usr/local/var) to /var From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Fri Jul 18 14:41:54 2014 Received: (at 18049-done) by debbugs.gnu.org; 18 Jul 2014 18:41:54 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:58595 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.80) (envelope-from ) id 1X8D6P-0005ZX-8Z for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:41:53 -0400 Received: from hera.aquilenet.fr ([141.255.128.1]:35837) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.80) (envelope-from ) id 1X8D6L-0005ZM-9Y for 18049-done@debbugs.gnu.org; Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:41:50 -0400 Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by hera.aquilenet.fr (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5FE9432CB; Fri, 18 Jul 2014 20:41:47 +0200 (CEST) Received: from hera.aquilenet.fr ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (hera.aquilenet.fr [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10024) with ESMTP id llG2fY4uH0kN; Fri, 18 Jul 2014 20:41:47 +0200 (CEST) Received: from pluto (host86-182-206-44.range86-182.btcentralplus.com [86.182.206.44]) by hera.aquilenet.fr (Postfix) with ESMTPSA id D025A2C31; Fri, 18 Jul 2014 20:41:46 +0200 (CEST) From: ludo@gnu.org (Ludovic =?utf-8?Q?Court=C3=A8s?=) To: Marek Benc Subject: Re: bug#18049: Bug in "guix system init" References: <1405616774.2096.6.camel@dusan-netbook.homenetwork> X-URL: http://www.fdn.fr/~lcourtes/ X-Revolutionary-Date: 30 Messidor an 222 de la =?utf-8?Q?R=C3=A9volution?= X-PGP-Key-ID: 0xEA52ECF4 X-PGP-Key: http://www.fdn.fr/~lcourtes/ludovic.asc X-PGP-Fingerprint: 83C4 F8E5 10A3 3B4C 5BEA D15D 77DD 95E2 EA52 ECF4 X-OS: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2014 20:41:46 +0200 In-Reply-To: <1405616774.2096.6.camel@dusan-netbook.homenetwork> (Marek Benc's message of "Thu, 17 Jul 2014 19:06:14 +0200") Message-ID: <87bnsmldat.fsf@gnu.org> User-Agent: Gnus/5.130009 (Ma Gnus v0.9) Emacs/24.3 (gnu/linux) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable X-Spam-Score: 1.0 (+) X-Debbugs-Envelope-To: 18049-done Cc: 18049-done@debbugs.gnu.org X-BeenThere: debbugs-submit@debbugs.gnu.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.15 Precedence: list List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Sender: "Debbugs-submit" X-Spam-Score: 1.0 (+) Marek Benc skribis: > This means that if someone (like me) configured the host Guix with > --prefix=3D/usr/local, the directory will be installed > into /usr/local/var/guix, which won't work, and will cause the installed > guix to see an empty /gnu/store. Good catch. I believe this is fixed by commit a52127c. Can you confirm that it works for you? Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
