Re: Error with guix pull

[Gary Johnson <lambdatronic@gmail.com>]

I tried running "guix pull" again after I got your message, but I
actually got a different error that time. (Unfortunately, I didn't take
the time to save it.) Anyway, I ran "guix pull" again today, and this
time it worked, so I guess the problem has been resolved.

Thanks,
  Gary
