[no repair output]

Hmm.

You said that there are no .go files, yet Guile keeps saying that the
source file
/gnu/store/cd6rjv3qhhghr59wpq4fksfr84d5dsdf-guix-module-union/share/guile/site/2.2/gcrypt/hash.scm
is newer than the compiled
/gnu/store/cd6rjv3qhhghr59wpq4fksfr84d5dsdf-guix-module-union/lib/guile/2.2/site-ccache/gcrypt/hash.go

Does the second file really not exist while the first one does?
