My first guess is that there something wrong with the version number here, the version in the filename should be 0.15.0. Could you check the name of the tarball again? If after you made sure that you have the correct filename it still does not work, you might also need xz-utils (or similar) installed, so that you can extract the tarball, or you can unxz, then tar -xf, if your tar does not autodetect the compression format. > On Sat, Oct 6, 2018 at 10:53 AM Vagrant Cascadian > wrote: > >> On 2018-10-05, Bj=C3=B6rn H=C3=B6fling wrote: >> > On Fri, 5 Oct 2018 16:28:08 +0200 >> > G=C3=A1bor Boskovits wrote: >> >> namrata malkani ezt =C3=ADrta (id=C5=91pont: 2= 018. okt. >> >> 5., P 16:23): >> ... >> >> > But when I tried to download the .sig file, using the command >> >> > >> >> > wget >> >> > ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-binary-0.15.0.system.tar.xz.sig >> >> > on my terminal, it returned an error: >> >> > >> >> > Connecting to alpha.gnu.org >> >> > (alpha.gnu.org)|2001:4830:134:3::c|:21... failed: Network is >> >> > unreachable. >> > >> > I checked the download-page and the links there are to the same server >> > (alpha.gnu.org).

Hello namrata,

Thank you everyone, for your warm welcome and timely response. I downloaded the key from the download site and proceeded to=20 verify it. But the public key was required so I ran the command to=20 retrieve it:
gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 3CE464558A84FDC69DB40CFB090B11993D9AEB=
B5
which alas again returned=
 the error:
keyserver=
 timed out
keyserver =
recieve failed.

You can try this command without the keyserver argument, lik= e:
=C2=A0gpg --recv-keys 3CE464558A84FDC69DB40CFB090B11993D9AEBB5=
(this will try the default keyserver).

= Actually any working keyserver will do just fine, they are synchronized.
I visited https://pgp.mit.edu/ t=
o search the string  
3CE464558A84FDC69DB40CFB090B11993D9AEBB5 ( I guess=
ed this must be the string needed=
 to be searched to extract the key)
=C2=A0but that search returned "=
;no such key found." I decided to proceed with the installations then,=
 and wrote the command as root
=C2=A0(by  sudo -i ), to unpack the tarba=
ll in tmp folder:
/# cd /tmp
/# tar -xf guix-binary-0.9.0.x86_64-linu=
x.tar.xz
And this is what it returned:
tar: =
guix-binary-0.9.0.x86_64-linux.tar.xz: Cannot open: No such file or directo=
ry
I tried the same after saving the =
guix-binary-0.9.0.x86_64-linux.tar.xz in tmp folder but again the some resu=
lt. I'm trying googling and
<=
font face=3D"arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> finding solution to this for now. Any help is most welcomed.


From the error message above it seems, that t= ar does not find this file. My first guess is that there something wrong wi= th the version number here, the version in the filename should be 0.15.0. C= ould you check the name of the tarball again?

If a= fter you made sure that you have the correct filename it still does not wor= k, you might also need xz-utils (or similar) installed, so that you can ext= ract the tarball, or you can unxz, then tar -xf, if your tar does not autod= etect the compression format.

Wild guess here, but might also be an issue in ipv6 routes, you could
try to force ipv4 with:

=C2=A0 wget -4 ftp://alpha.gnu.org/= gnu/guix/guix-binary-0.15.0.system.tar.xz.sig
