bug#55279: Bug Report: guix pull

[David]

Hello,

I encountered a bug after running `guix pull`. The output was the following:

```

Updating channel 'guix' from Git repository at 
'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git'...
Building from this channel:
   guix      https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git    f49b1a1

There's too little information here to investigate the issue.
If <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/50238> was applied there would
presumably be more information.

Greetings,

As a work-around, for now, you could try running "guix pull" again.
Often these kind of errors are transient.

Greetings,
Maxime.

The section ‘(guix)Contributing’ of the Guix manual has some
information on setting up a build environment (see "guix shell -D ..."
and ./configure --localstatedir=/var in ‘Building from Git’)’.  After
running "make", you can download the latest patch from
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/50238#9>, apply it with "git am" and try
"make && ./pre-inst-env guix pull".

Greetings,
Maxime
