Doesn't that suggest, that it may help to reword the below: #+caption: #+begin_quote guix pull: error: You found a bug: the program '/gnu/store/mpfp9nrzifhp3r= 5s3bv05b8xal5aa44f-compute-guix-derivation' failed to compute the derivation for Guix (version: "e32cc011bbe899fda432= 906776702f74fa6b1450"; system: "x86_64-linux"; host version: "eb34ff16cc9038880e87e1a58a93331fca37ad92"; pull-version: 1= ). Please report the COMPLETE output above by email to . #+end_quote So that we encourage users to try a few times (perhaps possibly with --fallback), and in case of repeat failures to then submit a bug report to . What about something like: #+begin_example guix pull: error: An error occurred: the program '/gnu/store/mpfp9nrzifhp= 3r5s3bv05b8xal5aa44f-compute-guix-derivation' failed to compute the derivation for Guix (version: "e32cc011bbe899fda432= 906776702f74fa6b1450"; system: "x86_64-linux"; host version: "eb34ff16cc9038880e87e1a58a93331fca37ad92"; pull-version: 1= ). Please try running "guix pull" again. In case of repeated failure, please try passing "--fallback" to "guix pull". In case that still doesn't resolve the error, please report the COMPLETE output above by email to . #+end_example I.e., perhaps the first step is simply to reword above so that we don't recommend that users submit a bug report on their first (possibly transient) failure. --=20 Suhail
