$ ./pre-inst-env guix refresh exiv2
gnu/packages/image.scm:1343:2: warning: 'generic-html' updater failed
to determine available releases for exiv2

It seems applying this patch does not help either:

https://www.exiv2.org/builds/ is a common directory listing.

The URLs contain 'Source' in them, is that another corner case? I don't
know how it works precisely yet :-)

Thank you
