Thanks for looking at things, Ricardo.

(Are you running the daemon on a system where > SELinux is enabled?) I get no output and a 0 exit code when I run the --check but some information about the VM I'm using is below. I started out with SELINUX enabled but have since disabled it in the VM thinking that perhaps that was a source of problems: $ dnf copr list ; rpm -qa | grep guix ; selinuxenabled; echo "selinuxenabled: $?" copr.fedorainfracloud.org/lantw44/guix guix-0.16.0-2.fc29.x86_64 selinuxenabled: 0 The first few lines of the guix pull command output are: Updating channel 'guix' from Git repository at 'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git'...

Substitutes from the official build farm are enabled by default when using the Guix System Distribution (see GNU Distribution). However, they are disabled by default when using Guix on a foreign distribution, unless you have explicitly enabled them via one of the recommended installation steps (see Installation). The following paragraphs describe how to enable or disable substitutes for the official build farm; the same procedure can also be used to enable substitutes for any other substitute server. I (incorrectly) assumed that was because on a Binary Installation the Guix install must rely on some local packages during pull. I'll enable substitutions and report the outcome.
