bug#33082: guix pull resulted in an error: compute-guix-derivation

[root@dobby guix]# pwd
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile/share/guix

guix archive --authorize berlin.guixsd.org.pub 

This commands has been hanging (doing nothing, as far I can tell) for 5+ minutes.  That sounds non-normal.
