Hello,

Indeed, (sysadmin services) in guix-maintenance.git does that.

> 2018-02-27T18:31:16 batch of builds (partially) failed:all build users are currently in use; consider creating additional users and adding them to the `guixbuild' group (status: 1)

[...]

There’s something fishy here.  What does “getent group guixbuild”

Thanks,
