Hi,

I've noticed that I also experience similar failures when I try to
install certain packages. For example, I cannot install ncurses or
autoconf:

marusich@garuda ~$ guix package -i autoconf
guix package: error: socket: Protocol not supported
marusich@garuda ~$ guix package -i ncurses
guix package: error: socket: Protocol not supported

However, I CAN install python:

marusich@garuda ~$ guix package -i python
The following package will be installed:
   python	3.4.3	/gnu/store/y5x6c38fzrbfl80jxrgjd6py2k88x12a-python-3.4.3
[... I've omitted the rest of the output ...]

I've noticed that ncurses and autoconf both use the "mirror://" pseudo
protocol; perhaps this is somehow related to the problem?

gnu/packages/ncurses.scm:
...
    (package
     (name "ncurses")
     (version "6.0")
     (source (origin
              (method url-fetch)
              (uri (string-append "mirror://gnu/ncurses/ncurses-"
                                  version ".tar.gz"))
...
gnu/packages/autotools.scm:
...
(define-public autoconf
  (package
    (name "autoconf")
    (version "2.69")
    (source
     (origin
      (method url-fetch)
      (uri (string-append "mirror://gnu/autoconf/autoconf-"
                          version ".tar.xz"))
...

However, the python module uses "https://":

gnu/packages/python.scm
...
(define-public python
  (package (inherit python-2)
    (version "3.4.3")
    (source (origin
              (method url-fetch)
              (uri (string-append "https://www.python.org/ftp/python/"
                                  version "/Python-" version ".tar.xz"))
...

If there's any way I can provide more information, please let me know.
I'm having trouble debugging this any further because I'm just
starting to learn Guile; no matter what I do I can't seem to make guix
give me additional information beyond "Protocol not supported."

I hope this information helps.
