Hi Thomas,

If you=E2=80=99re testing in a VM you might just as well download the GuixS=
D VM
image from <https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/download/>.  It should be
simpler than installing Debian and then installing Guix on top of
Debian.

Did you actually run =E2=80=9Cguix archive --authorize < =E2=80=A6/ci.guix.=
info.pub=E2=80=9D?

  https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Substitute-Server-A=
uthorization.html

If you didn=E2=80=99t, then you are not getting pre-built binaries and thus=
 you
end up building the world.

HTH,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
