bug#33107: guix pull error

[Marcel Schilling <marcel.schilling@mdc-berlin.de>]

Hi Ludo,

I did unset GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH between the first and the second attempt so
maybe it was related to some package definition depending on one that was
not yet in the Guix I had. If that was the problem it should be solved
when I finally switch to channels (soon(tm)).

Sorry for the noise.

Best,
Marcel
