To answer this myself: Yes, it is substitutable! At first I didn't
have substitutes enabled when running "guix pull" for the first time.
I then enabled substitutes, thinking it would automatically pick that
up. That didn't work though..
After doing "guix gc" (presumably removing the glibc-mesboot0
derivation) I was able to complete "guix pull".
I'm closing this bug report, because the actual problem looks very
similar to what is described in the earlier referenced bug report.
Even though I don't use an NVME drive for the filesystem that contains
/gnu/store.
Kind regards,
Roel Janssen
