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

Hello,

I just tried to install guix on my laptop. When trying to run `guix pull`,
at the end of the output it read:

guix pull: error: You found a bug: the program
'/gnu/store/ghf5nvs7mwv0w99737ilgja4hfdm2l7s-compute-guix-derivation'
failed to compute the derivation for Guix (version:
"950f3e4f98add14f645dc4c9f8c512cac7b8a779"; system: "x86_64-linux";
host version: "1.3.0"; pull-version: 1).
Please report the COMPLETE output above by email to <bug-guix <at> gnu.org>.

So here it is.

The host system is a custom version of Ubuntu 20.04 provided by the vendor (
https://www.tuxedocomputers.com):

$ uname -a
Linux molly 5.13.0-10039-tuxedo #44~20.04.1tux1 SMP Sun Mar 27 02:09:26 UTC
2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

This is the shell history after running the install script as root that led
to the output I attached to this message:

    9  guix search text editor
   10  cd
   11  guix install glibc-locales
   12  export GUIX_LOCPATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale
   13  ls /etc/nsswitch.conf
   14  cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
   15  info nscd
   16  info
   17  info libc "Name Service Switch"
   18  ps aux | grep nscd
   19  apt search nscd
   20  sudo apt install nscd
   21  ps aux | grep nscd
   22  guix pull

Kind regards,

Jochen

Probably network problems, just retry, and maybe pass --fallback to
"guix pull".

Anyway, this is not a bug and hence shouldn't be reported as such, but
error reporting in "guix pull" is complicated™.  FWIW, the v2 patch at
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/50238> would avoid the here unnecessary
backtrace and make it clearer that it's just some network problems,
though it's not perfect (the ‘please report a bug’ remains).

Greetings,
Maxime.
