Hm, I'm not sure. Are you sure the source machine's public key is in /etc/guix/acl? > > Side question — why is it building Libreoffice from source on “guix package -i libreoffice”? Recipe there, but not built on Hydra? How can I install an earlier already—built version? Most likely for this reason: http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=22653 You can install an earlier version by checking out a commit in the Guix git repo from before Vigra broke, and building based on that commit [0]. When building Guix from git, be sure to pass the correct value to ./configure --localstatedir=. Most likely it is '/var'.
