Hi Julien,

I just tried that one - same problem with guix-authenticate.

No change, I get the same protocol error.

I actually do have ~/.config/guix/latest (probably left over from an
older guix), and it does point to a store entry. So I should be able to
archive and copy it, even if it's not the entry that I need.

Cheers,
  Konrad.
