Subject: bug#24670: Unexpected EOF reading a line (from guix pull) [forward]
Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2016 08:09:42 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87y41s8ybd.fsf@we.make.ritual.n0.is> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20161012070258.GA12645@khaalida>
The following message has been forwarded to this bug again. There are
some details removed which will not be useful to anyone but me - I don't
think many people are running Gentoo here so I was told to remove the
output of "emerge --info" as this is only useful to recreate a somewhat
similar system.
To reply to your bug (as I wrote before), just reply to the initial info
message or.. If this doesn't get sorted out use
$bugid@debbugs.gnu.org. More on this can be found here:
https://debbugs.gnu.org/Developer.html which took me long enough
myself. The debbugs team of gnu should really document this more
visible.
