core-updates: fonts-dir-builder fails

[Ricardo Wurmus]

Hi Guix,

I’m trying to install python-wrapper on core-updates:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix package -i python-wrapper
guix package: warning: Your Guix installation is 17 days old.
guix package: warning: Consider running 'guix pull' followed by
'guix package -u' to get up-to-date packages and security updates.

The following package will be installed:
   python-wrapper       3.5.3   
/gnu/store/v4i3zfiwk6vl0mhdz580diqs0p6sc8vg-python-wrapper-3.5.3

The following derivations will be built:

Could this be because (@@ (guix profiles) fonts-dir-file) first deletes
the file and then checks if the file is empty?
