is inconsistent with the initial report:

And as pointed previously, this last message is also inconsistent by
itself.

Well, since the error seems from:

Well, I do not know if it’s possible to investigate more.  Especially,
when you re-run “guix pull” and it passes.

As Csepp is saying, maybe it comes from your hardware or your
filesystem.
