With the update of Julia to 1.8.3 I have tested installing DrWatson
using the Julia REPL and it now works.

The name is “Guix System” (GuixSD is an old name and not use anymore). :-)

[John Biechele-Speziale via Bug reports for GNU Guix]

After installing GuixSD and julia on the fairly minimal installation,
running julia and entering the following command ’] add DrWatson’
fails with the following error: “ curl_multi_socket_action: 8”.
Oddly enough, some packages work, such as LibCURL, but most fail.

The failure seems to occurs at the “resolving pkg versions” stage.

I’m a bit new to guix and mailing lists in general, so if there’s
anything else I need to provide to help reproduce the bug, please
let me know and I’ll send it ASAP.
