Now I get:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix package -e '(@@ (gnu packages tex) texlive-texmf)' -n
The following package would be installed:
   texlive-texmf        2016    /gnu/store/qnz85bcaw899rkv1bpgb0121ma5b9vzk=
-texlive-texmf-2016

substitute: updating list of substitutes from 'https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org=
'... 100.0%
The following derivations would be built:
