Without seeing this log, I bet it's the same problem as this:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-07/msg00602.html
https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/commit/47f25d9e08d4e102572804a2aed186b01db23c65

Basically, the test suite relies on an a certificate that has expired.

I don't think you'll be able to build the package, or update Guix from
this point.

Are you using substitutes? If so, I guess we have deleted this old
substitute. In that case, I recommend installing 0.12.0 from scratch.

But maybe somebody else has a better idea...
