OK, so that’s a negative cache–i.e., it cached the fact that there is no
substitute available.

What are the contents of the above file now?  Still (value #f)?

Can you remove it, apply the patch below, and run:

  echo info /nix/store/i35q1vm2sl27sjhs7mx8n2m05056ya9x-subversion-1.7.8.tar.bz2 | \
    sudo ./pre-inst-env guix substitute-binary --query

(This is how the daemon invokes the substituter.)

BTW, I assume that ‘make check’ passes, right?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
