bug#22047: system reconfigure fails due to corrupted file (linux-libre-4-2-6)

This happens after running guix pull followed by guix system reconfigure.
Downloading the file and attempting bunzip fails on many systems so network
error seems unlikely.

I'm very new to guix so I hope there's no important information missing.

    perhaps it is corrupted?  *Possible* reason follows.
bzip2: Inappropriate ioctl for device
    Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)

It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.

You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover
data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.

Unfortunately, this is a symptom of hydra.gnu.org closing the connection
prematurely, which happens when it is overloaded.

I would suggest trying again later or forcing a local build with
--no-substitutes.

Sorry for not coming up with a better answer!

(For the record we are in the process of looking for ways to
collaboratively fund the infrastructure for Guix, with replacing
hydra.gnu.org as the first goal:
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2015-10/msg00172.html>.)

Thank you,
Ludo’.
