Hi,

Nils Landt <[email-masked]> skribis:

Fixed with 4a6cef9d66ff26e96d63f2f1f886b8212154ca00.

The problem was that [email-masked] is marked as supported for
i586-gnu only (that’s GNU/Hurd).

The workaround on GNU/Linux would have been to run:

  guix install [email-masked]

but of course, hard to guess given the error message.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
