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

Hi,

In Trisquel 11, I installed guix using aptitude, then I ran `guix pull` 
and it ran into an error.

The session is attached.

Best Regards,

Rui

Based on the log attached, it looks like guix pull had a network error
that prevented it from finishing. Did you try pulling again?

HTH,

Hi James,

Thank you so much! I tried `guix pull` again after reading your email, 
and it was successful!

It is not a bug.

Before I filed the bug, I had tried it twice, and they both failed in 
the same way. Now I know what the error messages mean.

Best Regards,

Rui Duan

Hi,

Thanks for the report.  It adds yet another item in the already too long
list of “guix pull” errors [1]

> It is not a bug.

Therefore, closing. :-)

Cheers,
simon
