2021-08-21doc: Work around po4a doc generation hangup.Sergei Trofimovich
Multiple people are affected by 'guix pull' hangup. The reproducer is: $ po4a-translate -d -M UTF-8 -L UTF-8 -k 0 -f texinfo \ -m "doc/guix.texi" -p "po/doc/guix-manual.de.po" -l "doc/guix.de.texi.tmp" The regression is bisected down to commit fc29c80b9 ("guix: opam: More flexibility in the importer").
