Frustrating, but a good outcome.  ;-)

It could be that the thing was using http://hydra.gnu.org, and that this
server was overloaded and dropped the connection, or something.

In 0.10.0 we switched the default substitute server to
https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org, a mirror that is much faster than
hydra.gnu.org.

If you reconfigure GuixSD from a recent Guix, GuixSD’s guix-daemon
service will use mirror.hydra.gnu.org.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Hi all,

I tried to install emacs on guix recently, and I actually got a kernel 
panic in the middle of installing so I had to do a hard reboot. Since 
then, every time I tried to do guix package -i emacs I got this error:

I run guix pull with regularity, so I should have the latest software. 
Also, "guix gc --verify" yeilds no errors. "lfam" on IRC recommended 
that I try finding all /gnu/store/*-emacs-* and running "guix gc -d" on 
those files, but I tried that and even that didn't work. Can anyone 
provide any suggestions / solutions to debug this?

Also, I am not subscribed to this list, so please CC me in any responses

Thank you,
