Oooh no…

Yes.

However, how can it happen?  ‘guix locate’ knows all the manifest format
version, so maybe it mistook a file for a manifest when in fact it’s
something else?

Could you ‘strace -o /tmp/log.strace guix locate ls’ to get the name of
the offending file for now?

Thanks for reporting it!

Ludo’.
