Isn't that just a temporary network issue?  Codeberg has network issues
sometimes (although less often than Savannah).

That is the normal "when I install a guix version X system I get guix
version X-n" problem, and while surprising I think it is intentional.

You need to 'guix pull' in the newly installed guix version X-n to bring
it up to version X (or more likely a later version X+a at the time you
run 'guix pull').

The 'newgidmap' tool is from Shadows and you only need to install the
'uidmap' package, not rootlesskit, this is now in the manual:

https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Binary-Installation.html

  "The Guix project also provides a shell script, guix-install.sh, which
  automates the binary installation process without use of a foreign
  distro package manager5. Use of guix-install.sh requires Bash, GnuPG,
  GNU tar, wget, and Xz. On systems where systemd is detected, the tool
  newgidmap from the uidmap package is also required."
