Ouch, that’s unfortunate!

Using 6ba29e0, it works for me.

And,

  guix time-machine --commit=aeba4849b42b4d3ac75341ac4b61843c1fe48181 \
    -- time-machine --commit=b94724e8b2102be0fe9d19e9dfe44d6f7101bd4b \
    -- shell -CN --no-cwd python

also works for me.  And I am able to build
/gnu/store/mh01bp841xvcvv8mv6car7l92h6h19rk-curl-7.84.0.drv, even it
appears that the substitute is available.

All in all, I have no idea where the issue could come from.  Any issue
on your side, e.g., disk space, network, daemon, etc.?

Cheers,
simon
