bug#28522: Cannot upgrade due to "guix pull" errors

Hi there,

I'm running Guix 0.10.0 on a Debian stretch box, and I'd like to
upgrade. The box had not been booted for quite some time, hence the
version is somewhat old.

Running `guix pull`, I get the following:


Starting download of /tmp/guix-file.k6X14m
From http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/snapshot/master.tar.gz...
 master.tar.gz                              628KiB/s 00:22 | 13.6MiB transferred

Your installation is too old and lacks a 'guile2.0-git' package.
Please upgrade to an intermediate version first, for instance with:

  guix pull --url=https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/snapshot/v0.13.0.tar.gz


Unfortunately, the suggested command fails as follows:

I have attempted this multiple times over the last 24 hours, without getting any further.


Some places I have found mention the `--fallback` argument, but this
feature isn't included in the version I am upgrading from.


$ guix pull --fallback
warning: failed to install locale: Invalid argument
guix pull: error: fallback: unrecognized option
$


It looks like this issue could be the same as was discussed in this
old thread:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2017-05/msg00038.html

I'd prefer not to reinstall, but will if that's my only option.

Thanks,
Adamm

It looks as though your system is attempting to download and build boost
1.60.0, but both Guix's binary substitute and the original source for
the version are no longer available. Given v0.13.0 is the latest
release, it's a shame if that binary substitute of boost is no longer
available. Not sure why the source would have disappeared.

There is nearly always a way to work around for issues like this, but
given how old your install is, I think you'll save a lot of time by just
reinstalling. There have been quite few breaking changes in the last
year that may catch you even if you do resolve the above issue
(guix-daemon upgrade, Guile upgrade).

For what it's worth, guix is already falling back to fetching the source
from Sourceforge, so I don't think this flag would help you anyway.

Cheers,
Ben

0.10.0 is quite old. Based on the error you're missing gnutls as
required for getting sources from https locations. I would check the
output of:

guix package -A gnutls

and then try either gnutls or guile-gnutls in the following command:

guix environment --ad-hoc guile-gnutls -- guix pull --url=https://...v0.13.0.tar.gz

And little note based on my recent experience. v0.13.0. doesn't contain
the package neither. Use this as middle stage pull:

  guix pull --url=https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/snapshot/70bc608503f9029a065026a99ec45dbd0ec631c0.tar.gz

That is the commit which defines missing package.

Best regards,
