Pull errors with git error 502

[Todor Kondić]

A simple `guix pull'

outputs the following,

Updating channel 'eci-pkg-menu' from Git repository at 
'https://git-r3lab.uni.lu/eci/eci-pkg-menu.git'...
Updating channel 'guix' from Git repository at 
'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git'...
guix pull: error: Git error: unexpected HTTP status code: 502


and dies.

I tried going back to default channels and still the same error. I also tried 
restarting the guix-daemon, no success.

The guix repository on savannah seems to be alright.

Also note that my installation is about 40 days out of date (no guix pull in 
that amount of time).
