Hello, how are you?

Seems that I've found a bug in guix-compute-derivation while running 
guix pull in a newly installed guix system. Here's the complete output:

```

I've been facing the same issue, not a fresh install in my case.

I'm not sure what the  problem is, but forcing `bordeaux.guix.gnu.org as the substitute server to use got me past the issue.` 

`> guix pull --substitute-url="https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org"`

`This link was also helpful and mentions the same error with same backtrace: `https://simon.tournier.info/posts/2023-06-23-hackathon-repro.html

`Best,`

-Nick

…is a transient bug.

Feel free to reopen if it’s not and/or I’m missing something.

Cheers,
