IIRC gnutls isn't added to the environment unless needed for downloading or explicitly added. Also, pkg-config is an input for gnutls, so it becomes hard to download pkg-config using gnutls, when pkg-config is needed for gnutls. This is a case where `guix download https://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.28.tar.gz` and then rerunning `guix pull` would take care of it. Since 0.9.0 we've "fixed" this by adding another source for pkg-config that doesn't (yet) use https. -- Efraim Flashner אפרים פלשנר GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted
