I’m pretty sure passing --no-grafts avoids the problem (but remember it disables some of the security updates!). Can you confirm? (This was reported before, but apparently not on bug-guix.) > The problem appeared both in master and core-updates before today's > merge. I think the last time I checked if cross-compilation works, must > have been in early July. I am looking for the last working commit. That can be useful too. Thanks for the report, Ludo’.
