It looks as though your system is attempting to download and build boost
1.60.0, but both Guix's binary substitute and the original source for
the version are no longer available. Given v0.13.0 is the latest
release, it's a shame if that binary substitute of boost is no longer
available. Not sure why the source would have disappeared.

There is nearly always a way to work around for issues like this, but
given how old your install is, I think you'll save a lot of time by just
reinstalling. There have been quite few breaking changes in the last
year that may catch you even if you do resolve the above issue
(guix-daemon upgrade, Guile upgrade).

For what it's worth, guix is already falling back to fetching the source
from Sourceforge, so I don't think this flag would help you anyway.

Cheers,
Ben

0.10.0 is quite old. Based on the error you're missing gnutls as
required for getting sources from https locations. I would check the
output of:

guix package -A gnutls

and then try either gnutls or guile-gnutls in the following command:

guix environment --ad-hoc guile-gnutls -- guix pull --url=https://...v0.13.0.tar.gz

And little note based on my recent experience. v0.13.0. doesn't contain
the package neither. Use this as middle stage pull:


That is the commit which defines missing package.
