This issue is resolved in guix master, which as we know is different than what got installed on your system. > - attempt to install any package I tried results in a build > process of many packages including gcc and linux-libre-3.3.8-gnu > I do not understand why this is happening This is because you need to authorize hydra.gnu.org for fetching substitutes, it is not authorized by default. You need to run: guix archive --authorize < /gnu/store/p8wran9sj59ryl2fz2vlrhzy55xh7hny-guix-0.6.20b1d19/share/guix/hydra.gnu.org.pub I think it would be nice if hydra.gnu.org was authorized by default.
