Hi Everyone,

This is not a bug. I think it's more a feature request.

$ patchelf.sh: line 86: wget: command not found

Lack of wget is a bit unusual for a Linux distro. Usually an image has
either wget or curl installed. On Linux wget is usually installed; and
on OS X curl is usually installed.

Guix might consider adding Wget to its standard image.

Perhaps!

Guix does include the `guix download` command, which serves as a simple
HTTP downloader.

I will add that you can do 'guix package -i wget curl' to add those two
packages in the installer environment. I will be the first to admit that
I don't always remember to do that and have instead asked for help using
netcat or telnet to send text to pastebin sites.

How much space would it add to add one or both of these? curl has more
dependencies than wget, but we could always toss in busybox if we really
felt pressed for space.

I wonder if they are already in the image as transitive dependencies.

I've added wget to the Guix base packages with commit 7a65beff0f. It
adds about 3 MiB of mostly locale data, which seems reasonable.

Thank you!
