Hi,

On different machines (laptop, desktop, workstation) using different
networks, running different revisions of Guix, I often see this sort of
message (here bash-static and aspell-dict-fr are examples, I see that
for various others):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
 bash-static-5.1.16  701KiB                                                409KiB/s 00:00 ▕█▋                ▏   9.1%guix substitute: warning: while fetching https://ci.guix.gnu.org/nar/lzip/s3lfskbxkq65f4zf0iair8yz3s7nskml-aspell-dict-fr-0.50-3: server is somewhat slow
guix substitute: warning: try `--no-substitutes' if the problem persists
guix substitute: error: connect*: Connection timed out
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And I have not noticed if it’s always about the same compression (lzip).

The most recent failure uses 3f59fd6 (pulled on May 23) with:

        $ /root/.config/guix/current/bin/guix-daemon --version
        guix-daemon (GNU Guix) 1.3.0-31.3170843

Well, if that’s because guix-daemon is too old, maybe we could provide a
more meaningful message.

Sometimes, I even get:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

Just in case, using recent guix-daemon as 3f59fd6, I see:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

And I do not know which other substitute URLs are since I pass the
option ’--substitute-urls=https://ci.guix.gnu.org’; both to guix-daemon
and to “guix shell”.

Last, I start to see the progress bar, then something happens and I only
see this:

No more progress bars.

Good, that’s the expected behavior.  (Of course that may still fail if
there are no other valid substitute URLs.)

That’s because you have max-jobs > 1: progress bars aren’t displayed
when several jobs are running in parallel.

Thanks for testing!

Well, I do not have other substitutes and sometimes it displays this
message but it does not fail.  Does it retry?

Well, I only see this “substitution of …” message when before the
progress bar is broken by a warning.  Then I do not see again any
progress bar.

The warning is just that: a warning.  It’s telling you that the thing is
slow.

In the case above, on top of being slow, something went wrong, which is
why it tried again with another URL.

Hmm interesting.  I wouldn’t think the progress bar can be “broken” by
the warning, but maybe there’s something fishy going on that leads (guix
status) to think one of the substitution jobs never finished, which is
why it falls back to no-progress-bar behavior.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
