Yay, who would have thought?! :-)
Thanks for persevering. At lease we have a shorter path now next time
someone hits the problem.

The daemon changes, gets bug fixes, new features, support for new
compression algorithms, optimizations, etc., but the client/daemon
interface is stable. Thus, one rarely needs to upgrade the daemon, but
it’s a good idea to update it once in a while.
On Guix System, that happens automatically when you reconfigure your
system, but on other distros it’s easy to overlook that. The idea of
having clients warn about old daemons was a good one, but the
implementation didn’t work in your situation.
In your case, your daemon supported nothing but gzip (and bzip2 I think)
for substitutes. However, gzip was officially dropped a few months ago,
meaning that newer substitutes are not available as gzip from
ci.guix.gnu.org:
https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2022/sunsetting-gzip-substitutes-availability/
Thus your daemon was unable to fetch substitutes for things that were
built after that time.
BTW, the gzip change was announced publicly through several channels,
but your experience demonstrates that this is not enough.

Yes.
Thanks again for your time!
