[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi all,

Sorry about that last email. I fat-fingered the send button before I
had finished writing it.

I wanted to let you know that when I ran the following command from
the guix git repository root, the tests during "make check" failed:

guix environment guix -- bash -c './bootstrap && ./configure
--localstatedir=/var && make && make check'

The tests which failed were:

tests/guix-package
tests/guix-package-net

They both failed with the following error message:

"guix package: error: socket: Protocol not supported"

The commit that I was using was 2abcc93. The system I am using is
GuixSD, specifically a 0.9.0 installation of it on a bare metal
laptop. I've attached the test suite log for your reference.

Any idea why these tests failed, and how I can make these tests pass?

Thank you,
Chris Marusich

Hi,

I've noticed that I also experience similar failures when I try to
install certain packages. For example, I cannot install ncurses or
autoconf:

marusich <at> garuda ~$ guix package -i autoconf
guix package: error: socket: Protocol not supported
marusich <at> garuda ~$ guix package -i ncurses
guix package: error: socket: Protocol not supported

However, I CAN install python:

marusich <at> garuda ~$ guix package -i python
The following package will be installed:
   python	3.4.3	/gnu/store/y5x6c38fzrbfl80jxrgjd6py2k88x12a-python-3.4.3
[... I've omitted the rest of the output ...]

I've noticed that ncurses and autoconf both use the "mirror://" pseudo
protocol; perhaps this is somehow related to the problem?

gnu/packages/ncurses.scm:
...
    (package
     (name "ncurses")
     (version "6.0")
     (source (origin
              (method url-fetch)
              (uri (string-append "mirror://gnu/ncurses/ncurses-"
                                  version ".tar.gz"))
...
gnu/packages/autotools.scm:
...
(define-public autoconf
  (package
    (name "autoconf")
    (version "2.69")
    (source
     (origin
      (method url-fetch)
      (uri (string-append "mirror://gnu/autoconf/autoconf-"
                          version ".tar.xz"))
...

However, the python module uses "https://":

gnu/packages/python.scm
...
(define-public python
  (package (inherit python-2)
    (version "3.4.3")
    (source (origin
              (method url-fetch)
              (uri (string-append "https://www.python.org/ftp/python/"
                                  version "/Python-" version ".tar.xz"))
...

If there's any way I can provide more information, please let me know.
I'm having trouble debugging this any further because I'm just
starting to learn Guile; no matter what I do I can't seem to make guix
give me additional information beyond "Protocol not supported."

I hope this information helps.

- Chris

and then try again, with:

  ./pre-inst-env guix package -i autoconf

(I can provided more info on how to apply the patch if needed.  See also
<http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Running-Guix-Before-It-Is-Installed.html>.)

This may be a regression introduced in 279ec1d.

TIA!

copied from the end of your log:

+ guix package --bootstrap -p t-profile-21455 -e '(@@ (gnu packages commencement) gnu-make-boot0)'
accepted connection from pid 21586, user marusich
looking for the latest release of GNU make-boot0...
                                                   
guix package: error: socket: Protocol not supported

"looking for latest release" is the automagic checker looking for a new
upstream release of GNU make (i think), and the other two, ncurses and
autoconf, I believe also trip the autochecker to see if there's a new
upstream release.

As to the actual error, I'm not sure

Hi,

Thank you for the quick response!

> Could you apply this patch

The patch fixes the problem for me. Now, all the tests run during
"make check" succeed, and when I ran the following command, it worked
as expected:

./pre-inst-env guix package -i autoconf
