Hi,

I did:

    guix pull --url=git://git.lassieur.org/guix

As discussed on #guix, this was a result of berlin.guixsd.org running
out of disk space:

https://gnunet.org/bot/log/guix/2018-06-12#T1731820

It should be fixed now :)

Sorry about that.

We’re still fiddling with the configuration of the large (~20TB)
external storage to make sure it won’t be needlessly slow.  Once that’s
done we’ll move the contents of /gnu over to that storage array and then
we shouldn’t have problems with running out of space for a while.
