On my Arch machine with a Guix standalone, I got the following error on
`guix pull`:

Wasn’t there a message right above the backtrace?

Thanks,

This is the dreaded ‘info-dir’ bug, which is really a bug in Guile’s
compiler: <https://issues.guix.info/issue/28144>.

Can you show the output of:

  type -P guix
  guix --version
  guix describe

Thanks in advance,
Ludo’.

Hi,

Is the bug#34061 still an issue for you?

Well, I am a bit confused by the mismatch between: error with 7ba2b27
and then report d95d3d6.

Because it looks like a transient bug, I am in favor to close this bug.
WDYT?

All the best,
simon

Yes, I think this can be closed, I haven't experienced it 
recently.

Thank you for the report and your feedback.

So, closing!  Feel free to reopen if you have again the same issue.
