It looks like you have connectivity issues with ci.guix.gnu.org.  You
might want to retry, or enable other mirrors for substitutes instead,
since ci.guix.gnu.org blocks some territories (not because of Guix
policy, but rather because of where the server is hosted).

Best,

Well, it’s weird that many people have often connectivity issues with
ci.guix.gnu.org.  I mean, yes a retry usually makes it pass but as
reported in this thread:

    collection of “guix pull“ bug reports
    Simon Tournier <zimon.toutoune <at> gmail.com>
    Wed, 23 Aug 2023 18:17:20 +0200
    id:86jztl20of.fsf <at> gmail.com
    https://yhetil.org/guix/86jztl20of.fsf <at> gmail.com
    https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2023-08

all these failures with “guix pull“ look like the symptom with something
unexpected on server side.  Although obviously we can tweak on client
side for some automatic retries.

These transient failures are very hard to tackle because they are
transient. :-)


Cheers,
simon

Is it not possible to detect connectivity issues and print a regular
error message, instead of instructing the user to report a bug?

This old bug

    https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/65549

is known and already reported many times [1].  Therefore, I’m closing.

> Is it not possible to detect connectivity issues and print a regular
> error message, instead of instructing the user to report a bug?

Yes, it would be possible but not yet done.  As pointed in [1], we
should come with a plan in order to tackle this annoyance.

Thanks for the report.

Cheers,
simon
