bug#22948: Porting ocl-icd to guix fails because of ruby

[Dennis Mungai]

Hello,

And a small update:

After running the garbage collector, the problem went away (And saved me about 20GBs under /gnu/store).

I'm suspecting this was a corrupt store.

Note that setting TEMPDIR here (or even TMPDIR) has no effect, since
it’s the ‘guix-daemon’ process, not ‘guix build’, that creates temporary
files.

Could you send the content of the file above?

It looks like your store may be be corrupt.  Did you modify files by
hand under /gnu/store?  This would void your warranty.  :-)

Thanks,
