Well, first the authenticating message is weird because:

        9edb3f66fd807b096b48283debdcddccfea34bad
        AuthorDate: Tue May 26 22:30:51 2020 +0200
        CommitDate: Tue May 26 22:30:51 2020 +0200

and

        7b7f299bb493e485c5534b8c554e51d4f3a8c026
        AuthorDate: Wed May 8 15:51:45 2024 +0200
        CommitDate: Wed May 8 15:51:45 2024 +0200

Therefore, something seems unexpected here.  I am doubtful that the
message is accurate.

Second, the error message seems more accurate,

        0f68306268773f0eaa4327e1f6fdcb39442e4a34
        AuthorDate: Tue Apr 2 18:54:06 2024 +0200
        CommitDate: Sat Apr 20 10:35:35 2024 +0200

I.e., with the 1,287 new commits.

That’s said, could you confirm (guix describe) that you are currently
pulling from 0f68306268773f0eaa4327e1f6fdcb39442e4a34?

I think ’nss’ is substitutable, so I guess you are rebuilding from
source, right?

Well, the build of ’nss’ works for me.

Hum, I do not know what could be the origin of the failure.  Maybe on
your side (free space).  Or maybe hardware specific?
