Hi,

Karrick McDermott <kmcdermott <at> linkedin.com> skribis:

This happens because ‘with-clean-environment’ in
‘build-aux/build-self.scm’ clears the environment while executing
“compute-guix-derivation”.  Thus ‘HOME’ is unset.

Additionally, could it be that you’re not running nscd?  See:

  https://gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Application-Setup.html#Name-Service-Switch-1

That said, we could also let ‘HOME’ through in the execution environment
of “compute-guix-derivation”, it can’t hurt.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
