Hello!

Today, after successfully doing the "guix pull" command, subsequent runs
of "guix pull" or "sudo guix system reconfigure" leads to the following
uninformative error:

rodion <at> bumblebee-mighty ~$ guix pull
Updating channel 'guix' from Git repository at 'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git'...
Segmentation fault

I couldn't obtain any more information (--debug option doesn't lead to
any additional logs)

"guix describe" output is the following:

Greetings

I am facing the same issue at commit 41d05c7d65e3634e0986ac108ca8df68b141e9be which makes the switch to the patched libgit2 <at> 1.8 for guile-git:

look like revert 41d05c7d65e3634e0986ac108ca8df68b141e9be (gnu: guile-git: Switch to libgit2 1.8.) can fix it.

Turns out my libgit2 fix was partial.  Fixed with
d5312370b46ace47e138d84e1bb28e5651cee94b.

To come back to a usable state, you can do:

  guix pull --roll-back && guix pull

Alternatively, you can run ‘guix pull’ using another, bug-free ‘guix’,
as in:

  /run/current-system/profile/bin/guix pull

Thanks for quickly reporting the bug!

Ludo’.
