Hi all,
I tried to install emacs on guix recently, and I actually got a kernel
panic in the middle of installing so I had to do a hard reboot. Since
then, every time I tried to do guix package -i emacs I got this error:
substitute: Backtrace:

guix package: error: corrupt input while restoring archive from socket
I run guix pull with regularity, so I should have the latest software.
Also, "guix gc --verify" yeilds no errors. "lfam" on IRC recommended
that I try finding all /gnu/store/*-emacs-* and running "guix gc -d" on
those files, but I tried that and even that didn't work. Can anyone
provide any suggestions / solutions to debug this?
Also, I am not subscribed to this list, so please CC me in any responses
to this message.
Thank you,

Frustrating, but a good outcome. ;-)
It could be that the thing was using http://hydra.gnu.org, and that this
server was overloaded and dropped the connection, or something.
In 0.10.0 we switched the default substitute server to
https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org, a mirror that is much faster than
hydra.gnu.org.
If you reconfigure GuixSD from a recent Guix, GuixSD’s guix-daemon
service will use mirror.hydra.gnu.org.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
