Why don’t try this: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ wget -q -O - https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org/nar/p0kpcqzs4ylyni5yj8dv18kgj0x12zjb-wicd-1.7.3.tar.xz \ | bunzip2 | guix archive -x /tmp/wicd.tar.xz $ file /tmp/wicd.tar.xz /tmp/wicd.tar.xz: XZ compressed data $ md5sum /tmp/wicd.tar.xz 50f918b7a31eabe97f0ffa3c1bf08452 /tmp/wicd.tar.xz --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- It’s mentioned here: https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Invoking-guix-challenge.html Please do your homework before asserting things like this.
