*BUG* cannot convert wide string to output locale

Hi Guixers!

I get the following backtrace when trying to upgrade nss-certs from 3.59 to 3.71:

```
 λ guix upgrade nss-certs
The following package will be upgraded:
   nss-certs 3.59 → 3.71

guix upgrade: error: some substitutes for the outputs of derivation `/gnu/store/l500rigm8inalbwyq42mxghv4zck4scm-nss-certs-3.71.drv' failed (usually happens due to networking issues); try `--fallback' to build derivation from source
```

Does anyone know what causes this one?

I was able to get around it by doing the following:

`guix upgrade nss-certs --no-substitutes`

`--fallback` as the backtrace suggested did not work for me.

all best,
