Hi bo0od,
Your subject was quite dramatic and probably not true. Try to
avoid both.

The real issue it caused guix to freeze for like not less than
2+
hours and i couldnt do anything with the distro until guix cut
out
the build/upgradation by itself.
Take a look at (and next time, attach)
$ bzless
/var/log/guix/drvs/5a/8xxi15g20iqr78daw3w1c7xyqmmd1k-vigra-1.11.1.drv.bz2
the log file mentioned in the error message. You'll probably find
the string ‘Killed’ near the end. If you haven't rebooted yet,
$ grep oom /proc/vmstat
will probably return something non-zero.
If so: you ran out of memory while building a heavy package. This
causes your system to become unresponsive whilst it tries to
postpone that for as long as possible. This is a fact of Linux.
You can try to work around it by adding RAM, passing ‘-{M,c}1’ to
the guix command that failed, and/or enabling swap, but the root
cause is you simply don't have enough memory to build this package
at its default settings.
Or, you can make sure you download a substitute instead of trying
to build everything locally. At the time of writing (commit
d14f213) there's a libreoffice substitute on ci.guix.gnu.org. Are
substitutes configured and enabled?
Kind regards,
T G-R
