Are you installing GuixSD 0.10.0?
I would personally find it weird to warn about the possibility of losing
Internet connection. This is outside the scope of GuixSD, in a way.
WDYT?
However, in the past people reported that nscd, the name service cache
daemon, would sometimes fail without any good reason. If you think that
is the case, then this is definitely a bug that we should be
addressing.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
