Packages not being listed after reinstalling

[Dimaugh Silvestris]

I recently did a clean Ubuntu reinstall, but decided this time to try Guix as a package manager and install as much as possible from there. Guix might be the issue here, perhaps something else.

Now I can't run 'raco pkg install', and emacs gives me:

;--------------

; Can't suggest packages to install, because pkg/db get-catalogs is '().
; To configure:
; 1. Start DrRacket.
; 2. Choose "File | Package Manager".
; 3. Click "Available from Catalog".
; 4. When prompted, click "Update".
; --------------

I follow the suggestion, but I get:

ssl-connect: connect failed (error:1416F086:SSL routines:tls_process_server_certificate:certificate verify failed)

silly me, I forgot to mention I installed Racket from Guix

Hi!

I have been working on Guix's packaging of Racket, though I'm not especially experienced with Guix.

The ssl-connect issue sounds like it may be related to §2.6 "Application Setup" in the Guix manual, especially the subsections about "X.509 Certificates" and perhaps the "Name Service Switch": https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Application-Setup.html#Application-Setup Do you have all of that working properly?

I'm not familiar with the first error, and, in particular, I don't usually use Racket from Emacs. If the Guix setup doesn't fix the problem, more details would be helpful, especially the output of `which raco` and `raco pkg config catalogs`.
