same here

I was able to start a VM (via libvirt/KVM) booting the latest iso
install image

I need a way to download a git repo where I store a simple script i
use to automate the "partitioning" [1] process and a custom config.scm
including a standard set of (base) packages, users and related ssh
keys

I authorized berlin.guixsd.org using the key I found in the store:

    guix archive --authorize < /gnu/store/cw55zvxzi3d9cjmhfvxsryz31jxb1y6k-guix-0.15.0-1.4876bc8/share/guix/berlin.guixsd.org.pub

then I tried to install git via

    guix package -i git --substitute-urls="https://berlin.guixsd.org https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org"

but got the following errors (sorry for line reformating):

...............

root@gnu ~# guix package -i git --substitute-urls="https://berlin.guixsd.org https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org"

.......................

I'm still not able to understand the backtrace, but trying to install "screen" succeeded, while trying to install "wget" failed in a similar way

thank you for your support
