Whoops, I got my wires crossed. Those build logs are for
evolution-data-server, not ant-bootstrap. However, the same problem
holds for evolution-data-server - I built it, it failed, it said I could
find the logs at
/var/log/guix/drvs/7f/n896phqyv9r636yhjipa9k4qm7g9ni-evolution-data-server-3.30.2.drv.bz2,
it was empty at first, but then it became full.
In fact, it is only partially full, since the file ends unexpectedly:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ bzcat
/var/log/guix/drvs/7f/n896phqyv9r636yhjipa9k4qm7g9ni-evolution-data-server-3.30.2.drv.bz2
> /dev/null
bzcat: Compressed file ends unexpectedly;
perhaps it is corrupted? *Possible* reason follows.
bzcat: Success
Input file =
/var/log/guix/drvs/7f/n896phqyv9r636yhjipa9k4qm7g9ni-evolution-data-server-3.30.2.drv.bz2,
output file = (stdout)
It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.
You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover
data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Sorry for the initial confusion, but I believe this is still a potential
issue, and I wonder if others have observed similar behavior.
