OK, so that’s a negative cache–i.e., it cached the fact that there is no
substitute available.

What are the contents of the above file now? Still (value #f)?
Can you remove it, apply the patch below, and run:
echo info
/nix/store/i35q1vm2sl27sjhs7mx8n2m05056ya9x-subversion-1.7.8.tar.bz2 | \
sudo ./pre-inst-env guix substitute-binary --query
(This is how the daemon invokes the substituter.)
BTW, I assume that ‘make check’ passes, right?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
