Hello,

here is what happens on a server I do not manage to update for about a year now:

If I remember well, in the past I tried to update with a guix from guix
(obtained with "guix install guix") and also with one from git
("./pre-inst-env guix pull"), and the result was always the same.

So here is the sad outdated state:

Weird.  I tried the same time travel and it went well:

Is it reproducible for you?  Could it be a transient failure?

Annoying there aren’t more details in the output.

Thanks,

It is not transient, it happens consistently.
Can I do anything myself to trick it into working?

Is there any more data you can grab?  Perhaps in
/var/log/guix-daemon.log or similar if that’s on a foreign distro?

And as a last resort, ‘strace -f -o /tmp/log -s 500 guix pull’, so we
can get an idea of what happens.

TIA!

it is a GNU system virtual machine. And I have this in /var/log/messages:

While this appears in the strace log:

16408 +++ killed by SIGKILL +++

So we have the culprit; not a Guix bug per se.

$ cat /proc/meminfo 
MemTotal:         997864 kB
MemFree:          679044 kB
MemAvailable:     817052 kB

It looks like 1GB of memory is not enough for "guix pull", which is
not nice. Has this been addressed in later commits? Is there a known
lower memory limit for using Guix?

This is terrible.  :-/

The culprit here is Guile, specifically its compiler and psyntax.  I
made some improvements to reduce its memory consumption in 3.0, but it’s
definitely not 2x or so unfortunately.  So, to be continued…
