bug#58149: guix pull error

[Matthieu Haefele]

Hi Ludo,

guix/ui.scm:1747:12: In procedure run-guix-command:
unsupported compression scheme lzip

Matthieu, how did you install guix-daemon?

The daemon provided in the binary installation tarball at
<https://guix.gnu.org/en/download> has supported lzip for a few years
already.  Likewise if you’re on Guix System.

So I suspect that’s a custom installation where lzip support is somehow
missing, which can be a problem (ci.guix.gnu.org dropped gzip,
supporting only zstd + lzip, back in February.)

Thanks,
Ludo’.

I am completely blind here.
Thanks for your help

Well, I installed guix on my laptop (with ubuntu) the very standard way described on guix website. It was back in January 2020. I am issuing `guix pull` commands since without any problem. A colleague came to me yesterday asking for help because guix pull crashes on his end(with yet another error). I tried on my end and got the errors we are discussing. I had a try on plafrim and it goes through.
