I just added the ‘--fallback’ option for “guix build” and “guix package”. So by default you get an error, with a message from the daemon telling you to try ‘--fallback’. The difference is that now the option actually exists. ;-) > In any case, catching the error and emitting an error message would > probably be preferable to Yes.

There should not be any problem with that now, but perhaps that was fixed recently (maybe commit 91fe0e20c7da2b706a1ac0e7b75235b6c1e6ed0a). Thanks! Ludo’.
