As shown in another message, there is just a warning about stalling.
However, no error and the packages are available.
Therefore, I do not understand the authentication mechanism. Because I
was expecting to have an error and that pull forces me to run
--disable-authentication.

All code are not equal. Most of the packages in guix-past are very old
packages and I bet they contain many security holes. So I am happy to
know that I fetch authenticated security holes. ;-)

I suggest to just drop the authentication for this channel.
