Well, I installed guix on my laptop (with ubuntu) the very standard way described on guix website. It was back in January 2020. I 
am issuing `guix pull` commands since without any problem. A colleague came to me yesterday asking for help because guix pull 
crashes on his end(with yet another error). I tried on my end and got the errors we are discussing. I had a try on plafrim and it 
goes through.

I am completely blind here.
Thanks for your help
Mat
