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

Hello! I make update under root normally.
But normal user cannot finish updates for several times during these 3 weeks.
Sometimes process stops on downloading one file,sometimes another.
I can remember when I had bad connection I restarted updates again and again and finally got my profile updated.
Is it a problem with my network or Guix servers, or guix code?

$ guix pull && guix package -u

This example is in guix pull, it looks like either a network error or an
error in your local encryption stack.

If other examples are in guix package -u, you can add -k (--keep), then
previous good builds will be kept and won’t have to be rebuilt on the
next try.

However I have been in configurations that for some reasons did not
work. This helped me out of that:

guix pull && guix package -I | cut -f 1,3 | sed 's/\t/:/' | xargs guix install -k

Best wishes,
Arne

Well, no more activity after years.  So closing!

Thanks for the report and the comment.  I think now the issue is fixed,
isn’t it? :-)

Feel free to reopen if I’m missing something.

Cheers,
simon
