Hello Paul,

This is a hard run. Getting that system back is not easy. There are two
ways I did that. The easier is to try to guix copy a working new guix from
another machine. Then you can guix pull using that.

Another option: you couls try to find the source and guix download it from
somewhere.

Most probably this would require several iterations, as requirements were
added to the build that were not previously packaged. Also we do not have
so old substitues, so most probably this would involve rebuilding the world
several times.
