Yes, thanks; after sending that message I realized that disabling tests might affect, so I tried again without “#:tests? #f” and it failed again. Originally I disabled tests when I realized that it would try to build guix and linux (as both sources were downloaded). However I have just tried again and "zrlp8p8fv75i59ljwih6c15r5229ph0h-guix-0.8.2.c2ee19e" is being downloaded right now! So apparently the problem was that "c2ee19e" snapshot wasn't built on hydra the first time I performed "guix system init". So it looks like this time the process is going to be finished succesfully (I'll report about the result). -- Alex
