Hello,

I encountered a bug after running `guix pull`. The output was the following:

```

Updating channel 'guix' from Git repository at 
'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git'...
Building from this channel:
  guix      https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git    f49b1a1

There's too little information here to investigate the issue.
If <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/50238> was applied there would
presumably be more information.

Greetings,

As a work-around, for now, you could try running "guix pull" again.
Often these kind of errors are transient.

The section ‘(guix)Contributing’ of the Guix manual has some
information on setting up a build environment (see "guix shell -D ..."
and ./configure --localstatedir=/var in ‘Building from Git’)’.  After
running "make", you can download the latest patch from
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/50238#9>, apply it with "git am" and try
"make && ./pre-inst-env guix pull".

Greetings,
Maxime

Hi Maxime,

running "guix pull" again produced a similar looking output to the one I 
sent previously.

I looked at the link

<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/50238>

you sent and I'm motivated to apply your patch.

However, I'm not sure how to do it. Could you point me to how to do that?

I am rather familiar with git version control.

Best,

David
