Subject: Error on guix-pull using the qemu image
Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2020 03:56:06 +0000

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I downloaded the qemu image from https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-system-vm-image-1.0.1.x86_64-linux.xz. It had a valid signature.

After booting the machine with qemu 3.1 (I'm on debian-amber):
`qemu-system-x86_64    -net user -net nic,model=virtio    -enable-kvm -m 512    -device virtio-blk,drive=myhd    -drive if=none,file=./guix-system-vm-image-1.0.1.x86_64-linux,id=myhd`

I tried installing hello for the guest user. It worked fine.

I then tried running `guix pull && guix package -u`, and received the following error:
```
[...]
substitute: updating substitutes from 'https://ci.guix.gnu.org'...100.0%
Backtrace:
          1 (apply-smob/1 #<catch-closure d6f220 quit)
          0 (apply-smob/1 #<catch-closure 6a2bbc0>)

ERROR: In procedure apply-smob/1
In procedure fport_write: Broken pipe
```

On the second attempt, it failed immediately with this message:
```

Please report it by email to <bug-guix.gnu.org>
```

After asking on the IRC to find out if I'd made a mistake, they directed me to send in the error as the message said.

Let me know if other info is necessary for reproduction.

-m 512 looks a bit low.

Could you check if the disk is full? The image is small should be resized
before use.
