Hey Marius,

Oh you are right, I didn't realize that.

Sure, done!

Thanks,

I just installed two servers with the installer image built from commit
2f49007dd076b14feb40d7c3331dee3e737265c8.  Both of these servers boot
just fine, but “guix pull” does not work.

It fails with the following error:

  guix pull: error: glibc-bootstrap-system-2.2.5.patch: patch not found
