It's highly possible that I'm missing something. Is there a > workaround? Hmm, I=E2=80=99m not sure exactly what=E2=80=99s going on here. Perhaps yo= u could raise this on bug-guile@gnu.org. OTOH, it=E2=80=99s not a problem in practice fo= r us, because the =E2=80=9Cbad=E2=80=9D mirror will normally just be skipped. HTH, Ludo=E2=80=99.
