Thanks for reporting the issue.  Unfortunately, I suspect it was “just”
a transient issue (probably a networking issue while downloading
substitutes for guile-ssh, which we see in the backtrace).  It’s
unfortunate that it crashed like that.

Even if it's ‘only’ a networking issue, shouldn't it be reported
better?  When "guix package -u" fails due to networking errors, the
error messages are much clearer.  Why not the same for "guix pull"?
Perhaps the issue should be reopened?

Greetings,
Maxime.

A proper error message would at least ensure this particular kind of 
crash does not prompt the end user to send a bug report. It would seem 
the real bug is communication to the user, "you found a bug, report it 
to the developers." instead of "Network error. Try later."
