Nevermind! I misread your error message; your cache seems OK.

I think you created an incomplete environment, i.e., you used something
such as:

  ./pre-inst-env guix shell texlive-context

But `texlive-context' alone is not sufficient. You need at least
a scheme or a collection in this environment, as mentioned in the
manual, or, if you really want to be minimal, `texlive-bin'. E.g., in
decreasing size:

  ./pre-inst-env guix shell texlive-collection-context

     or

  ./pre-inst-env guix shell texlive-scheme-minimal texlive-context

     or

  ./pre-inst-env guix shell texlive-bin texlive-context


HTH,
