Hello!

(And gals, etc.)

I wouldn=E2=80=99t recommend running =E2=80=9Cguix pull=E2=80=9D from the i=
nstallation image.
We arrange to keep binaries that correspond to releases on our servers,
but apparently we failed here, at least for some of the 0.10.0
binaries.

Had they been available, you wouldn=E2=80=99t have had to build WebKitGTK on
your machine (which is arguably a terrrible user experience for a first
install!).

The fix here is for us to make sure binaries are retained long enough.

Thanks for your report!
