My bad, with the additional option everything works. Thanks!

I wonder if having only one time-out option would not be clearer?

On my i686 Libreboot X60, two consecutive attempts to run "guix package
-u" have failed with the following message:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
grafting '/gnu/store/i8iiv9qd1jndwxxr2h563fwwn0997xkx-cups-2.0.1' -> '/gnu/store/nrdr51fkncjm5nqkx70576g25l4ka5na-cups-2.0.1'...

I guess that my machine and rotating disk are too slow to graft texlive
within an hour.

Apart from that, there are a few specific problems:

* It never notified me that it was grafting texlive.  Are those messages
  not printed until after the grafts have completed?

* I later discovered the --timeout option for 'guix build' (also
  supported by 'guix package') but the manual claims that "By default
  there is no timeout".  This seems to be incorrect.
