Hello, 
I tried running "guix pull" but it gave me a backtrace.

It sounds like perhaps this error was caused by a networking error.
Although much time has passed since you opened this bug report, I think
in situations like this, you can work around the issue by trying the
command with the --fallback option, as the error message suggests.  Did
you try that?

You could try something like this:

  guix pull --fallback

You could also try building just that one problematic derivation with
fallback, like this:

  guix build --fallback /gnu/store/bxw2dzjmdrq7qmv0w1mpzqrkfqs9p7q2-po4a-0.57.drv

If successful, you can then retry "guix pull" without the --fallback
option, but if a network error was the cause, the same kind of issue
might happen again for any other derivation.  Therefore, I would
recommend trying "guix pull --fallback" if this sort of problem happens
frequently for you.

FYI, you can also add "--fallback" to various commands, like "guix
build" and "guix package".
