Subject: bug#34580: Service ssh-daemon could not be started
Date: Sun, 29 Sep 2019 08:02:41 -0500

I went looking for the pid to answer Ludo's question and didn't find strace, and the ssh command line was wrong so I got suspicious.

After searching a bit, I found the problem: I'm an idiot.  'make' apparently did not succeed after all and I simply failed to catch it.  I went back and re-executed everything, slower this time and paying better attention and found this after 'make check':

make[2]: Entering directory '/home/bgardner/Development/guix/po/guix'

I've no idea what this 'msgfmt' issue is, however.  Any suggestions?
