Subject: compute-guix-derivation failed to compute the derivation for Guix
Date: Thu, 23 May 2019 01:19:38 -0700

I'm running Guix, installed from guix-system-install-1.0.1.x86_64-linux.iso,
in a VirtualBox VM.  I encountered an error running "guix pull". A very quick
look at the mailing list archives suggests that this may be similar to
 bug#35723.

Output:

After submitting that report, I ran "guix pull" again, with no
intervening commands.  The system sat idle for about 28 hours
between the two attempts. The second command completed without error.

I have partial output of the successful command (about 1800
lines). I'm not including it here, but let me know if you want to
see it. (Ask for a copy of "guix-bug2".)

It looks like you experienced a transient network error that prevented
you from downloading ‘glibc-utf8-locales’.

> guix pull: error: You found a bug: the program

This message is confusing: it should report the networking issue above
rather than suggest there’s a bug.

I don’t think it’s necessary.  The main issue from my POV is that the
error message is misleading since it fails to convey the useful piece of
information.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
