I'm running the GuixSD usb install image version 0.9.0. I booted into
the install environment, and after connecting to the internet I ran
"guix pull". After "guix pull", I prepared the system to install to hard
drive, then I ran "guix system init /mnt/etc/config.scm /mnt
--fallback".

The build failed with the error message "Suspicious ownership or
permission on /gnu/store/...-harfbuzz-1.0.6-bin".

mark_weaver on the IRC channel asked me to run the stat command on that
directory, so I ran "stat /gnu/store/...-harfbuzz-1.0.6-bin" (but with
the actual string of alphanumeric characters in place of the
ellipsis). The stat command indicated that the -harfbuzz-1.0.6-bin
directory permissions is 0777. To be more specific:

Access: (0777/drwxrwxrwx) Uid: (30001/guixbuilder01) Gid:
(30000/guixbuild).

Let me know if any more information is needed.

Hello!

> The build failed with the error message "Suspicious ownership or

I’m happy to report that this is finally fixed!

Commit d72267863382041b84a9712eea354882be72ef55.

The root problem was that libguile’s ‘mkdir’ was playing dirty tricks
with umask(2), as explained at <http://bugs.gnu.org/24659>.  Our
multithreaded grafting code triggered the issue described in that bug.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
