Hi Guix!

The nar for
/gnu/store/y813phs2n9xnb7zbcr07g0j9509bzbsb-linux-libre-6.8.10-guix.tar.xz
on Bordeaux seems to have been corrupted by some mechanism. The URL in
question is

> URL: nar/none/y813phs2n9xnb7zbcr07g0j9509bzbsb-linux-libre-6.8.10-guix.tar.xz

From comments by cbaines on an earlier issue [1] that had misdiagnosed
the problem:

For reference:

> NarSize: 143081664
> Compression: none
> FileSize: 143081472

On a related note, whatever issue is going on here seems to cause [2].
The actual issues are distinct.

I've investigated this now, the problem was introduced in [1] with the
new feature in the build coordinator to recompress nars in the publish
hook. The bordeaux build farm uses the default configuration, which is
to uncompress the lzip'ed nar if there don't seem to be an advantage to
using lzip.

Unfortunately the code for that didn't explicitly close the output port
when writing the uncompressed nars, which led to missing data off the
ends of the file. I've now fixed that [2], removed the affected nars and
submitted new builds to re-add them.

Thanks,
