Subject: Handshake Error

[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

I received the following error when performing a guix pull:

|substitute: guix substitute: error: TLS error in procedure 'handshake':
Error in the pull function.

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

I've seen this kind of error before in other software and I believe it
occurs when a handshake can't be performed in time and the connection is
dropped; I was able to successfully pull a few minutes later under better
conditions. That being said I bring this up because a problem in my network
(I think) is being treated like an error in your program.

I believe that's been fixed in commit
fa70c141552c76cf4dc9666f577bf6b471fa0d50 ("substitute: Reopen connection
upon “Error in the push function” from GnuTLS.").

Closing.
