Hi,

I=E2=80=99m having problems with a piece of code.

;; Retrieve git commit date
(define get-commit-date (lambda _
  (let* ((out (open-input-pipe (format #f "curl --silent '~a'" =
%api-url)))
         (str (get-string-all out))
         (queryResults (json-string->scm str))
         (date (cdr (hash-get-handle (cdr (hash-get-handle (cdr =
(hash-get-handle queryResults "commit")) "author")) "date"))))
         (display "Contacting github for commit date...\n")
         (close-pipe out)
         date)))

This code sits above my package code and I use it to dynamically =
populate my some values when building my package.

Everything works great and I can install the package locally without any =
problems.

My issue occurs if I try to issue a guix pull to bring this in through a =
separate channel.

When I do that I always get /gnu/store/=E2=80=A6-bash-minimal-4.4.23/bin/b=
ash: curl: command not found.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
