Re: Trouble with adding a package

I'm so sorry. I did probably the dumbest mistake. 
I have package named "tcalc" and i was using "tcal" instead. Of course it was unknown package.
And now everything is working.

Hi Nadya,

If you meant

    sudo ./pre-inst-env guix-daemon --build-users-group=guixbuild

then “freezing” is expected.  This is a daemon, so it won’t exit.  It
will keep running and accepting requests.  Usually it is started by a
service manager or it is backgrounded manually when it is run in a
terminal session.

But you should only run it once.  After installing Guix you probably
already started the daemon (confirm with “pgrep -fa guix-daemon”), so
starting it again won’t work.

Was there any more output?

Could you send us the complete diff compared to the original sources you
downloaded?
