Sorry, this is my mistake. As netpbm does not release tarballs, I downloaded
one from sourceforge and hosted it on my server. Which I tidied up the other
day... I just put it back (using a copy from hydra). However, it is (and
should be) a .tar.xz, not a .tar.gz.

I seems that Andreas had set up a mirror for some reason, and the file
vanished.  Andreas?

In the meantime, you can work around it by enabling substitutes.  To do
that, you need to register hydra.gnu.org’s public key on your machine
(info "(guix) Substitutes").

HTH,

Thank you Ludo and Guix, I used: guix archive --autorize < 
/gnu/store/.../share/guix/hydra.gnu.org.pub

It works. :D

Perfect, thanks!

Perhaps now we’d be able to fetch it from SVN or something like that?

Good suggestion. I did not know we had the code, as there is no current
example. Done in commit 7d8379a.

If everything goes well on hydra, I will try to update to a newer version.

Perfect, thanks.  I think svn-fetch was once used for GNUnet.
