Build failure

Build failure

[Simon Josefsson]

I use guile from Debian wheezy:

guile (GNU Guile) 2.0.5-deb+1-3

and get the following error when building Guix.  Any ideas?  What is it
trying to access over the network?

Hi,

"The distribution is self-contained: each package is built based solely
on other packages in the distribution; the root of this dependency graph
is a small set of bootstrap binaries." [1]

It's trying to fetch 'guile-bootstrap-2.0.6.tar.xz'. It has nothing to
do with Debian's Guile.

The network I were on had broken IPv6 connectivity, which appears to
have confused the build process.  With that fixed, building proceeds.
All other applications (ssh, browser, MUAs) appear to have coped with
the broken IPv6 connectivity, so there may be room for improvement in
how the files are downloaded.

This particular problem was fixed in Guile 2.0.7, FWIW:

  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guile.git/commit/?h=stable-2.0&id=2663411bd7d7d6b7be6c674c4e6c35c22e2e3c19

Thanks,
