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

When trying to run `guix pull` I got an error.

I had previously started `guix pull` but cancelled it so I could install 
IceCat more quickly, but then my laptop died in the middle of `guix 
install icecat`. It was after powering on after that power loss that I 
ran `guix pull` and got this error.

After the error, I ran `guix pull` again and this time it succeeded. The 
log for this one was too long to fit in my virtual terminal, but I have 
attached a partial log in case that's helpful. Maybe it was just a 
random error and not actually a bug, but the message said to send an 
email so I decided to report it anyway.

Let me know if there's anything else I should do to help.

Hi,

Thanks for your report.  Well, it’s hard to tell if the bug comes from
something transient (network?) as the ones in [1] or if it is not.

Well, I do not know where does the dead substitute message come from?

Do you have more information to share?  Or was it very transient and
hard to reproduce?

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

The issue only happened once.

My guess is that the error has something to do with a networking failure 
or possibly a problem with running out of RAM. At some point (before 
encountering this error) I think I installed a program to automatically 
kill programs when low on memory, and I see in htop now that `earlyoom 
-r 60` is running, but I'm not sure if that's the program I installed or 
if that comes default with Trisquel. I have 8GB of RAM with somewhere 
between 4GB and 16GB of swap RAM at the time of the error.

I like the proposal in the thread you linked to ([1]).

Thank you for letting us know.  So closing. :-)

Thanks, maybe one day one of us will be annoyed enough to implement this
proposal or an equivalent. :-)
