> Fixed in 8a154c29151fc445e8d0364f507f6e200de1e700.  (I tested with ‘make

> The bug would also cause ‘guix pull’ to start authentication at the

> If anyone wants to double-check, you can run, on version-1.3.0:
>
>   make update-guix-package
>   ./pre-inst-env guix system vm gnu/system/examples/vm-image.tmpl
