guix package -u --no-substitutes

[Danny Milosavljevic]

Hi,

I've been having problems doing

  $ ./pre-inst-env guix package -u

lately. I get

>guix substitute: error: download from 
>'http://hydra.gnu.org/nar/36wqhbch45x055wj6gfsng00zkwfqg6n-texlive-20150523-texmf.tar.xz'
> failed: 503, "Service Temporarily Unavailable"

.

When I try

  $ ./pre-inst-env guix package -u --no-substitutes

it doesn't try to update anything (and exit code is 0).

Weird...

Same for

  $ ./pre-inst-env guix package -u --fallback

it doesn't try to update anything (and exit code is 0).

Trying

  $ ./pre-inst-env guix package -u

makes it download a random package of the to-be-downloaded list and then it 
tries texlive and fails...

The to-be-downloaded list would be
