Subject: bug#76486: `guix substitute' occasionally crashes while looking for substitutes
Date: Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:00:44 +0100

Sometimes, apparently randomly, `guix substitute' crashes as follows for me:

substitute: looking for substitutes on 'https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org'...   0.0%guix substitute: error: TLS error in procedure 'write_to_session_record_port': Error in the push function.
guix system: error: `/gnu/store/jpbjljfva1hqspw1kd6hgnl63sgvw966-guix-1.4.0-32.5f6fdad/bin/guix substitute' died unexpectedly

This seems to happen while looking for substitutes, usually (always?) at
"0.0%" progress.

This happens rarely enough that a re-run of the crashing "guix system
reconfigure" or "guix home reconfigure" will succeed.

For completeness' sake:
