Hello,

https://paste.debian.net/1292978/

For the past day or so `sudo guix system reconfigure guix.system.scm` results in the error attached to this mail. The id value has changed from yesterday. I visited the irc channel and someone there recommended the same advice found here https://issues.guix.gnu.org/40769 to delete "~/.cache/guix" and actually I deleted all "~/.cache" but the error is still there.

This morning, again, I tried "rm -r ~/.cache/guix" and "sudo guix system reconfigure guix.system.scm" and the same error occurred and I don't know how to resolve.

Thanks for any advice,

Chris

bug#66182: rm -r /root/.cache/guix # works

[chris]

The issue is resolved here. Per irc discussion, root's guix cache was removed
```
sudo rm -r /root/.cache/guix
sudo rm -r /root/.cache/guile
```

After that, `guix pull` and `sudo guix system reconfigure guix.system.scm` succeeded

Hi,

Thanks for the report.  And sorry for the annoyance.  The culprit is
6d33c1f8061e86d63ab5c9ec75df9c58130c7264 reducing the number of network
access.

The error should be fixed with 94f3831e5bb1e04eeb3a0e7d31a0675208ce6f4c.

Let me know.

Cheers,
simon
