I got this error when doing `guix pull` (for the first time) after 
installing guix via apt-get on Xubutnu 22.04.4 LTS. The fonts on Icecat 
weren't rendering. I did a few other things, trying to get the fonts to 
work, to no avail (I think rebuild the font cache or something, and I 
installed a couple font-related things at ChatGPT's suggestion). Then I 
came to do a pull request with the intention to update Icecat afterward, 
to see if that would fix the fonts:

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

I don't know enough to be able to understand the error message out (one of
my main complaints for Guix is the atrocious error messages these things
throw), but what happens if you try to run with no substitutes?:

```
guix pull --no-substitutes
```

If that fails, maybe try something like the following (convoluted way to
try to run your commands with a newer guix binary (also assuming your local
binary might be broken)):
```
guix build --no-substitutes guix
guix build --check guix
guix shell guix
guix pull
guix shell guix
guix package -u
```

Also, are you able to post your `channels.scm` file? It is probably located
at `$HOME/.config/guix/channels.scm`

v/r,

Aaron

Thanks for your report.  Guix has a bad time with this…  Somehow 1.3.0
is 3 years old and thus the update from that old revision to now isn’t
smooth.

Based on the backlog, it’s hard to tell…  Maybe

    guix pull --no-substitute --fallback

could help.

Cheers,
simon

Thanks to let us know.
So closing.  Since it's already reported elsewhere(I guess) and known.

Cheers,
