   This is an upstream Guix issue (55273), but they seem to be planning to resolve it with a version bump, and either way we have versions pinned I think.

   Found and solved the problem: https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6299

   Will think about the right solution for us…

   Looks like the Guix devs got to it first… https://issues.guix.gnu.org/55326

   Curious why that was allowed in master since I’d assume it’ll cause a mass rebuild…

   Urgh I shoulda checked guix refresh --list-dependent libgit2, bumping libgit2 would only cause 70 packages to be rebuilt, so it’s allowed on master.

   Workaround: Setting the system clock back to 2021-05-11, touching all files under the bitcoin source dir, and running guix-build until libgit2 completes. (Afterward, for sanity, I Ctrl-C’d it, set a correct clock back, re-touched all the files, and ran guix-build again to complete)

   Hopefully we can figure out a real fix eventually.

    This should probably remain open until there’s a clean way to build existing tags

    Ran into this when trying to build v23.1rc2 (on a machine that so far only has the Guix version used by v24.0).

    As mentioned above, it can be worked around by messing with the system clock:

    0sudo timedatectl set-ntp no
    1sudo date --set "21 may 2021 00:00:00"
    2# as your guix user
    3guix build --cores=1 /gnu/store/myai2xf4f0z2nr331mx2y4xr4jv1lwid-libgit2-1.3.0.drv
    4
    5sudo timedatectl set-ntp yes
    

    (ditto for openssl 1.1.1m)
