bug#41715: The program '/gnu/store/foobar/compute-guix-derivation' failed to compute the derivation for guix

[o . rojon]

Hej Ludo,

crazy, I wouldn't have thought it would go as deep as gdb as quickly ;-)

I followed the steps you mentioned, the results you find here: 
https://www.mediafire.com/file/g5yz8f3pput8f3w/gdb-output/file  . The 
only part I omitted from the gdb output is the first lines mentioned the 
license. (Will look at IPFS, maybe next time :))

If you need anything else, dont hesitate to specify. Also, should a 
reinstall become necessary, that would be annoying but not the end of 
the world. So if we hit a dead end thats fine by me.

Thanks a lot for your help. So far, I received only good from the guix 
community :)

Greetings,
Olivier
