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

Hello,

Apparently I found a bug! From what I understand, not enabling 
substitutes should lead to building from source. Authorizing 
ci.guix.gnu.org and bordeaux.guix.gnu.org makes this bug disappear.

The final lines before the backtrace are:
> guix substitute: warning: download from 
'https://ci.guix.gnu.org/nar/zstd/4gvgcfdiz67wv04ihqfa8pqwzsb0qpv5-guile-3.0.9' 
failed: 504, "Gateway Time-out"
> retrying download of 
'/gnu/store/4gvgcfdiz67wv04ihqfa8pqwzsb0qpv5-guile-3.0.9' with other 
substitute URLs...

Please find below my system information. The complete bug logs are attached.

Best regards,

Pascal Quach

Did you try pulling with --fallback? I believe if substitute fetching
fails Guix won't build from source unless you add that flag.

Perhaps the error message in Guix pull could be updated to not say

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix pull: error: You found a bug: the program ...
failed to compute the derivation for Guix ....
Please report the COMPLETE output above by email to <bug-guix <at> gnu.org>.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

When the store protocol error is

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
ERROR:
  1. &store-protocol-error:
      message: "some substitutes for the outputs of derivation ... failed (usually happens due to networking issues); try `--fallback' to build derivation from source "
      status: 1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and --fallback isn't provided.

Take it easy,
