Hi,

The log at pastebin.com reads:

  55. builder for 'gnu/store/[... long string of characters ...]-libarchive=
-3.1.2.drv' failed with exit code 1
  [...]
  62. cannot build derivation '/gnu/store/[... long string ...]-system.drv'=
: 1 dependencies couldn't be built

This means that, to build the system configuration, Guix tried to build
libarchive, which failed.

It also means that somehow hydra.gnu.org was not providing pre-built
binaries for libarchive & co., perhaps because they have been GC=E2=80=99d.

What GuixSD version is it?

Thanks for your report!

Ludo=E2=80=99.
