Hi,

Sometimes, I see an error like the following (it is not specific to
ant-bootstrap):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix package -m ~/profile-packages.scm 
...
building /gnu/store/76apf0hpcdabpjy0839nhkwgfrz3m8z5-ant-bootstrap-1.8.4.drv...

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But when I try to view the log file very quickly after getting these
messages (within about 1 minute or so), I get:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ file  /var/log/guix/drvs/7f/n896phqyv9r636yhjipa9k4qm7g9ni-evolution-data-server-3.30.2.drv.bz2
/var/log/guix/drvs/7f/n896phqyv9r636yhjipa9k4qm7g9ni-evolution-data-server-3.30.2.drv.bz2: empty
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

However, when I come back a few minutes later, mysteriously the file has
been populated:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ file  /var/log/guix/drvs/7f/n896phqyv9r636yhjipa9k4qm7g9ni-evolution-data-server-3.30.2.drv.bz2 
/var/log/guix/drvs/7f/n896phqyv9r636yhjipa9k4qm7g9ni-evolution-data-server-3.30.2.drv.bz2: bzip2 compressed data, block size = 900k
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Indeed, I was originally going to report that the file was empty, but
while I was writing this email, it filled up!  Is this behavior
expected?  I anticipated that the file would be finalized (empty or not)
before the helpful message "View built log at ..." was printed, but it
seems like that message is proleptic, which makes it a little confusing.

I have not been able to reproduce this issue; maybe I was simply
confused when I opened the bug report.  Let's close this for now.
