Currently, substitutes are only available for x86_64-linux and
i686-linux.  For other systems – as Librem 5, I guess – Nyxt is failing,
probably because some dependencies.

However, you report an issue with inkscape when there is no path between
nyxt and inkscape; at least, it is what “guix graph --path nyxt
inkscape” says.

Then, you report,

when guix-daemon had been stopped.  And that’s unexpected.
