What happens if you try “guix build --check --no-grafts 
/gnu/store/zkhymfsbrv0s4y7l778g78k6y65nidxd-gnutls-3.6.16.drv” or 
similar?  The database probably states that 
/gnu/store/jlk67v3nddhv0z963wfvahk8fc8gqcz8-gnutls-3.6.16 has 
already been built, so with “--check” you might be able to make it 
build it again.

How did that fail?

How could the directory have disappeared?  Guix appears to be very 
surprised that the directory is missing.
