Still got the same error message. >> Or does anyone >> know what the error might be? > > I never saw it before. Me neither. I ended up just installing guix-0.15 instead. Did a guix pull to --branch=version-0.16.0 (I hope that is equivalent). And currently waiting for it to finish reconfigure. Got carried away with just playing around with the system, after I installed 0.15. Really nice system I must say. Only crucial package I'm missing is polybar. At the moment, having a hard time keeping track of my windows in i3 :). But I figured that will be a good introduction in packaging stuff for guix. Anyway, thanks for the help again! -- s/Fred[re]+i[ck]+/Fredrik/g
