[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello Guix Users/Developers!

I am experiencing a situation, in which I seem to be unable to do a guix pull 
and guix package -u. I am using the Guix package manager on foreign distro:

--------
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
Release:	22.04
Codename:	jammy
--------

guix --version gives:

--------
$ guix --version

    repository URL:https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
    branch: master
    commit: 4f86fa20179ded1e6314eeba7da17309d501a32f
--------

I first ran guix pull, which led to an error:

--------
... (many lines of logs about downloading packages and so on) ...
substitute: updating substitutes from 'https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org'... 100.0%
substitute: updating substitutes from 'https://ci.guix.gnu.org'...   0.0%guix substitute: error: TLS error in procedure 'write_to_session_record_port': Error in the push function.
guix package: error: `/gnu/store/438g5cz2l225d0zyhvzj3db3mjrkx8gn-guix-command substitute' died unexpectedly
--------

Since I didn't know what else to do, I thought I would give the --no-substitutes 
a try. That does not run into an error, but simply seems to run forever:

/ 'build' phase

And at that build phase step of gcc-mesboot1 it is stuck forever. All the other 
steps finish rather quickly, but somehow that one ran for 2h and was still not 
finished. I cancelled it and ran the command again, after which the output 
looked like this:

--------
$ guix pull --no-substitutes

/ 'build' phase
--------

And again it is stuck.

While it is stuck, it does still put my CPU cores to use, which is why I 
initially waited for approximately 2h for it to finish, before cancelling it.

So I seem to be unable currently to pull and update packages. I remember having 
had this problem before. I am not sure what I did then. Whether I simply waited 
for a better version, or what I did. However, it seems sometimes such issues strike.

What I haven't tried yet is to update guix itself. (pull as root user).

Is there any other command I should try running to give more information?

Best regards,
Zelphir

Have you tried rerunning multiple times without this flag?
It could be just a single time error. Also you can try using just
one of the substitute servers. I have not encountered this error,
and unfortunately don't understand the cause.
But it's possible it's not linked directly to your specific config,
but rather to the network conditions or the conditions on the substitute
server.

It's not stuck forever, it just builds. The gcc packages can take
a long time, also depending on your hardware. It can also be important
what your --cores settings is set to, since if you are trying to build
this just on one core, it will also add additional time for the build.
You seem to be bootstrapping a lot from there, so even after gcc
mesboot1 will build it can still take a lot of time to get to the
end.

Rutherther
