"Could not resolve host" while using git-fetch

"Could not resolve host" while using git-fetch

[Zach Philipchook]

Hello!

I'm trying to define and build a package with guix on Arch Linux. I'm
getting a "Could not resolve host: github.com" error when building. The
nscd daemon is running. I'm not experiencing any name resolution problems
outside guix.

The package definition: https://pastebin.com/UJEm396s
guix command I'm executing: `guix package --manifest=manifest.scm -v3`
guix log: https://pastebin.com/NYbH8iGX
nscd command: `sudo nscd --debug`
nscd log: https://pastebin.com/UCsxvQnc

There's nothing related to "github.com" in the nscd log, which makes me
question whether it is used for the name resolution at all. Since, for
example, if I run `ping github.com` on the host, I do see "github.com"
being mentioned in the nscd log.

This works for me.

Hum, it appears something is wrong with your network and Guix.  Because
the last failure is about SWH and I get:

Well, I do not what could be useful to debug your issue.  Something is
missing configured between your network and Guix.  And I do not think
the issue is related to nscd.

Are you running Guix System or Guix on foreign distro?

Cheers,
