I've added wget to the Guix base packages with commit 7a65beff0f.  It
adds about 3 MiB of mostly locale data, which seems reasonable.

Thank you!

Closing.

Hi Everyone,

This is not a bug. I think it's more a feature request.

    $ patchelf.sh: line 86: wget: command not found

Lack of wget is a bit unusual for a Linux distro. Usually an image has
either wget or curl installed. On Linux wget is usually installed; and
on OS X curl is usually installed.

Guix might consider adding Wget to its standard image.

Jeff
