Thanks.

Please say exactly why you “can’t”.

Why the hell do you keep deleting the store?  :-)

Exactly, see test-env.in.

OK.  Can you report how things go one that is fixed?

That one occurs many times.  I suspect this has to do with the daemon
features enabled by c0412fedf, though I don’t see which one.

Could you try to:

  1. Run ‘git show c0412fedf | patch -p1 -R’, and then confirm that the
     problem disappears.

  2. Run ‘git reset --hard’, edit config.h, and comment out the HAVE_
     macros corresponding to the functions listed in c0412fedf, one at a
     time.

     Alternately, you could strace guix-daemon to see where EBADF comes
     from.

     Or, even better, run guix-daemon in gdb, run ‘catch throw’, and get
     a backtrace of the thing that throws.

We can chat on IRC to help.

Thanks in advance,
Ludo’.
