Unfortunately, I cannot do "guix environment guix" anymore (like "guix pull", it tries to download python-2.7.12 and fails due to a hash mismatch). Running "./bootstrap" in my standard environment fails with an obscure error message about "autopoint" missing. - "guix package --roll-back" in the hope of going back to a state in which I can do "guix environment guix". I ended up rolling back until my profile no longer contained "guix" (I have no idea how I could ever produce such a profile), so now I am completely stuck. Any idea for getting out of this mess? Thanks in advance, Konrad.
