Hi,

If you have a case that’s reproducible, please take advantage of it and
add ‘pk’ calls in (guix progress) to see what happens.  Here it seems
that ‘transferred’ (in ‘display-download-progress’) is #f.

The #f would come from this clause in (guix status):

     ('download-progress item uri
                         (= string->number size)
                         (= string->number transferred))  ;<- here

That in turn comes from ‘progress-reporter/trace’, called from (guix
scripts substitute).

It looks like this issue happens when max-jobs is (noticeably) greater
than 1, as if the client was receiving intermingled “@
download-progress” traces, and thus not getting the right ‘transferred’
value.

Could you try to reproduce it while ‘guix’ is running under strace?
Like:

  strace -o log -s 200 guix build whatever --max-jobs=20

?

Then, if you reproduce the error, we’ll look for intermingled traces in
the log.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
