Hello,
'guix install texlive' results in the following error:
'guix install: error: integer expected from stream'

I found a previous bug report https://issues.guix.gnu.org/51983,but
don't have fully understanding of it at the moment.

my guix describe:
guix b891f85
branch: master
commit: b891f8519dbea5457d9ad154974b1ab1459b4b8b

Happy Holidays to all those who celebrate them,
Michael

At the moment I believe this to be an issue with the substitute on
ci.guix since `guix install texlive --no-substitutes` makes progress,
though as of yet I have not had it finish since it takes an immense time
due to the size of the package.

Thanks for the hint Tobias,

I am currently on a foreign installation of Guix after some time on Guix
System, and did not appreciate that guix-daemon ran off of the root
user's guix. Simply running `guix pull` as root and restarting the
daemon fixed this issue.

I see Jé?emy posted in the 'help' mail list for this issue, I will
consider that list for questions in the future. I am new to the mailing
list system.

Thank you for your help,
Michael

I think either list is fine. You encountered a real bug, after
all; it's not your job to know it was ‘fixed’ or that it wasn't
‘actually’ related to texlive at all.

Searching issues.guix.gnu.org for existing bug reports first is
appreciated, but it's not always easy to guess which keywords to
use.

Plus: closing bugs is fun. Doing so now.

Kind regards,
