bug#41715: The program '/gnu/store/foobar/compute-guix-derivation' failed to compute the derivation for guix

[o.rojon@posteo.net]

Hi Ludo,

here is the log uploaded on mediafire: 
http://www.mediafire.com/file/ldqoi68y88rzrn9/log.bz2/file (note that if 
you can recommend another uploading service, feel free to!)

Since the log is in german, let me specify at least two of the recurrent 
phrases in english:
"Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden" means "file or directory not 
found"
"Die Ressource ist zur Zeit nicht verfügbar" means "Resource is 
currently unavailable"

If there is other things that need be translated, dont hesitate to tell 
me :)

Greetings,
Olivier
