Hi, Lars-Dominik Braun <[email protected]> skribis:
> as discussed on IRC [1][2] `guix archive --export` is currently broken on > foreign distributions. It fails with the error message: > > guix archive: error: corrupt input while restoring archive from > #<closed: file 7f27c396e150> > > strace reveals `guix authenticate` prints a message to stderr, which the > guix-daemon does not expect: > > guile: warning: failed to install locale Specifically, the problem occurs after the change in 64cf660f872fb7aaf0d2b463e45b4c756297f743: on the first call to ‘readAuthenticateReply’, the daemon gets a “g” (from the warning above) instead of a digit as the protocol expects. Part of the problem is that ‘Agent’ captures stderr in addition to stdout, which is useful for ‘guix offload’ but a bad idea for ‘guix authenticate’. > See also https://issues.guix.gnu.org/43737 Yup, part of the motivation came from this bug report. Thanks! Ludo’.
