The 40 weeks of time that have passed since suggest the problem is now
gone :-).

Closing, but feel free to reopen if the problem persists with
GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH unset.

Thanks,

Hi,

guix pull takes over 8 GiB of memory to finish if there are no substitutes.

My laptop only takes max 8 GiB of RAM.  I've set up swap, but that kind of
memory usage still seems ridiculous.
