Hi,

After having done a 'guix pull', I added h-client to a system image made
with guix system image, and when running that image I could launch
h-client with any of the following command lines:
$ h-client
$ sudo -E h-client

However with Parabola i686 (also after having done a 'guix pull',
h-client doesn't work anymore, and it gives the following error:

I vaguely remember that I could launch it on top of Parabola before, so
it seems to be related to recent updates to the h-client packages
(through before sending data didn't always work due to a bug in the
server that is now fixed).

PS: I've added Maxim in To as pers is the last person who worked on
    improving the h-client package, so maybe pers has more knowledge
    than me on that.
