guixsd 0.15.0 install failure

I have been having a hard time getting guixsd installed on my x200 the past
few days. I am running the command "guix system init /mnt/etc/config.scm
/mnt --substitute-urls="https://berlin.guixsd.org"" and everything seems to
be working but after a couple hours into the install I keep getting this
message

sha256 hash mismatch for output path
'/gnu/store/bjpalrv9f49d2k40p7ga0y6dwdys9w5j-bzip2-1.0.6.tar.gz'
expected: *****************************************
actual: *********************************************
cannot build derivation: ***************************
*
*
*

is there something in the guix system init command that I am leaving out?

The problem is that the website hosting bzip2 has gone offline
permanently. You'll have to download this source code from the archive:

`guix download https://web.archive.org/web/20180624184835/http://www.bzip.org/1.0.6/bzip2-1.0.6.tar.gz`

Once you have downloaded the source code, you can restart `guix system
init ...` and it should work as expected.

Hi There,

I had that same error, but I worked around it.  Basically the file is not at that site anymore.  They need to update the derivative for installing this.

I’m out at the moment, but I can post the fix in the next hour or two.

I posted before I saw Leo’s reply at any rate his method is probably better.

In my case, from the /gnu/store directory, I entered:

nano ./59pqd1d0ihqxx0i64yxk335vjmw78wmh-bzip2-1.0.6.tar.gz.drv

and at the end of the line, I changed url from http://www.bzip.org/1.0.6/bzip2-1.0.6.tar.gz to https://github.com/past-due/bzip2-mirror/releases/download/v1.0.6/bzip2-1.0.6.tar.gz

That fixed the problem for me.

It's important to never edit files in /gnu/store.  Everything in that
directory is assumed to be immutable, and if that assumption is
violated, Guix may later misbehave in non-obvious ways.

Please use Leo's method instead.

      Thanks,
        Mark

Thanks Mark.

Will do.  Being knew to Guix I wasn’t aware of the guix download command.
