Didn’t try that: After several days of always the same failure, `guix pull` is suddenly working again. So if this comes down to a networking issue, I wonder what went wrong for several days that did not affect any other service. > Ouch! what I was in mind is that you GC time to time and not keep all > these versions. :-) For example, “guix pull --delete-generations=6m” > to keep only the last 6 months generations.

This is a bit embarrasing: I have been using `guix package --delete-generations; guix gc --collect-garbage` frequently and up to this day did not realize that there’s another “level”, which can be dealt with via `guix gc --delete-generations`.
