Running ~guix build r-minimal~ fails with the following messages. Sounds like it cannot find the
style file plain.bst and some math fonts; maybe upstream changed the dependencies. Or I read it
wrong and it's some other error from the make target "vignettes-no-lattice".

Let me know if it works for you and the issue's on my end.

I was able to `guix build r-minimal' and it pulled from the substitute servers.

Which version of Guix did you use?  With or without substitutes?

Using Guix 2d31eee, it works fine for me (on x86_64).  Even, it builds
fine, with:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix build r-minimal --no-grafts --check

[...]

phase `compress-documentation' succeeded after 0.0 seconds
guix build: error: derivation `/gnu/store/a493xc5qhv0yv8jjvf7zd62ppld2g9pv-r-minimal-4.1.0.drv' may not be deterministic: output `/gnu/store/p86pzn2pq2jq3jwa4jf1pi5c1wbb04l1-r-minimal-4.1.0' differs
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


All the best,
simon

It builds fine now, so this fluke will remain a mystery. I don't know the way to check what revision of Guix I was on at the time. All the best!

The command “guix pull --list-generations” gives all the versions you
used.  Except if you explicitly removed some.

Thanks, so closing.

All the best,
simon
