I was pointed to this issue from the IRC channel. I am also
experiencing similar "bad response" errors during `guix pull` and `guix
upgrade`. Thanks to help from IRC, I was able to sort of work around
the issue by simply brute-forcing the commands, running them over and
over again until they completed successfully.

Here are all the `guix pull` attempts it took:

Could you indicate the version of the daemon that you’re running? You
can do that presumably by running:

guix describe -p /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix/bin/guix-daemon --version

I suspect the bug is the same as https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47157.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Ludo'!

Thank you for your answer!

Here are the versions of guix and guix-daemon:

$ guix describe -p /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix
Generation 136 Mar 12 2021 20:25:23 (current)
guix 35b3ab8
branch: master
commit: 35b3ab8e5748d9911ae7a0189065d0c25392895b

$ /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix/bin/guix-daemon --version
guix-daemon (GNU Guix) 1.2.0-15.f8953be

Meanwhile, I also found https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47258.
It sounds very similar to my problem,
although there seems to be no version mentioned yet.
I started guix pull --no-substitutes, as suggested there.
So far the error has not occured again, but it's not finished yet.

Anything else I can contribute?

Thank you again!

OK, that confirms my guess. To get the fix for
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47157, you need to pull (concretely, it
was fixed by the ‘guix’ package upgrade in
94f03125463ee0dba2f7916fcd43fd19d4b6c892).

Could you upgrade and restart your daemon?


(If you get a bad-response crash while attempting to upgrade, just retry
the operation; it’s transient so every retry makes progress.)

Let us know if the problem still appears after that. I’m closing the
bug meanwhile.

Thanks for your feedback!

Ludo’.

Hi,

repeating "guix pull && systemctl restart guix-daemon.service"
again and again finally worked. :-)

Thank you very much!
