I did a "guix pull" and it carped that there was a 404 for the bash-4.4A
NAR, and suggested --fallback. But there is no --fallback argument to
guix pull for some reason. OK. There's a --bootstrap argument but
although it can install the deps, it can't pull, because:

In unknown file:
?: 0 [dynamic-func "strverscmp" #<dynamic-object #f>]

ERROR: In procedure dynamic-func:
ERROR: In procedure dynamic-pointer: Symbol not found: strverscmp
builder for `/gnu/store/jagbm4f9npc7n7l9y4b1ncc25vigylky-guix-latest.drv' failed with exit code 1
guix pull: error: build failed: build of `/gnu/store/jagbm4f9npc7n7l9y4b1ncc25vigylky-guix-latest.drv' failed

I would guess this is because the bootstrap Guile is statically linked.

Hi,

I did today guix pull --bootstrap and it still seems not to work. I
asked in IRC and it seems that the option is pretty much useless anyway
today.
Can anyone confirm if that is true? Maybe consider removing the option
if that happens.

Forgot to attach the log.

My error is this:
