Hello,

trying to do a "./pre-inst-env guix system reconfigure" using the recent
git checkout 0ebc1b934d39b6c924cbe17fd37ceb2b201e9ac2 on my x86_64 virtual
machine results in the following error:

How much memory does this machine have?  Can you try to set up some swap
space?

There is 1 GB of main memory according to /proc/meminfo, and there should
also be 500 MB of swap space. Maybe this is not enough?

After updating to a more recent git checkout, qemu-minimal is downloaded from
hydra:
/gnu/store/8l47i793wnddcp476cc819hzndhmpwdb-qemu-minimal-2.10.2

Given that the problem was likely to be a lack of memory in my machine,
I am closing this bug.

Thanks,

Andreas
