I can't copy-paste easily to my email client right now, so here's a paste. I'll send the content later.

Hi Julien,

Julien Lepiller <julien@lepiller.eu> skribis:

 When installing Guix on a new machine (foreign distro), substitute were not properly set up:

 …
 Permit downloading pre-built package binaries from the project's build farm? (yes/no) yes
 /home/roptat/guix-install.sh: line 445: /root/.config/guix/current/share/guix/ci.guix.gnu.org.pub: No such file or directory

 That was the latest version of the script downloaded from savannah. It downloaded and installed the 1.2.0 tarball.

 I was able to fix that later manually, but let's make sure the script doesn't fail like that with the release :)

I don’t see how this can happen: ‘sys_create_store’ creates
~root/.config/guix/current, before ‘sys_authorize_build_farms’ runs.

Can you reproduce it, Julien?

Alternatively, could you paste the complete output of the
guix-install.sh script when it failed?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
