Hi David,

Looks like this bug report fell through the cracks of the turn of year…

It looks as though the store item for Guix or Guile used on the host had
been suddenly wiped, even though we don’t see any GC activity or
similar.

As you can see, guix is now broken on both the host and guest system.

Were you able to better see what was broken?  Is it that store items
were removed?  Are there issues with non-Guix files?  It would be great
if you could gather more details as to what’s wrong. I’ll also see if I
can try that in a VM.

No, unfortunately I couldn't find any reason. I repeated it a few times with the same results but I no longer have access to the VM I tested this on so I can't help with more details, sorry :/

If it does not happen when you try it (if you do), I would be glad to hear about so I can call this a fluke and attribute the bug to special unknown circumstances with the particular host system I used.


Best regards,
David
