bug#25449: GHC packages take a long time to install

Mmh, it worked till recently... I did chmod a+x /home/dvc and it solved the permission denied problem on guix/nix/scripts/download. Thanks!

But that doesn't fix my problem with some ghc packages taking extremely long... Any ideas?

Anyway, I'm hitting problems all the time - need to finally switch to guixsd :)

FYI commit 384344198dcaa97847e66d3dd82f279ede08d690 causes this on my end, but I don't currently have time to look in to it...
