Subject: Re: system reconfigure, Git error: the SSL certificate is invalid
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2020 14:00:58 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ime93yet.fsf@dell> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <874kpvv6yr.fsf@dell> (Andreas Reuleaux's message of "Sat, 25 Jul 2020 18:29:32 +0100")

To answer my own question (and for the record, or for anyone interested):

Doing "guix pull" as root, i.e. several cycles of

  # guix pull
  # guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm
  # reboot

really, all of them as root, did update my system enough, to make my
usual cycle work again, i.e.

(as a regular user rx)
  $ guix pull 

and then (as root):
  # /home/rx/.config/guix/current/bin/guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm

works again for me, now. 

Thus, section 3.7 of the Manual, which suggests to  
"guix pull" only ever as a regular user, seems a bit too over-optimistic to me.

I still don't know exactly, what was causing this issue, but fine
with me, if I update my system as root once in a while.

Thanks,
  -A
