This example is in guix pull, it looks like either a network error or an
error in your local encryption stack.

If other examples are in guix package -u, you can add -k (--keep), then
previous good builds will be kept and won’t have to be rebuilt on the
next try.

However I have been in configurations that for some reasons did not
work. This helped me out of that:

guix pull && guix package -I | cut -f 1,3 | sed 's/\t/:/' | xargs guix install -k

Best wishes,
Arne
