The title says it all:

guix download https://fedorahosted.org/releases/x/m/xmlto/xmlto-0.0.25.tar.bz2

results in

ERROR: missing interface for module (gnutls)
failed to download "guix-file.Oty9Cl" from "https://fedorahosted.org/releases/x/m/xmlto/xmlto-0.0.25.tar.bz2"
guix download: error: https://fedorahosted.org/releases/x/m/xmlto/xmlto-0.0.25.tar.bz2: download failed

(under guile 2.0.5-deb+1-3).

Since guix build -S works on the same file, something needs probably to be
ported from guix build to guix download.

Quoting the manual (info "(guix) Invoking guix download"):

     The ‘guix download’ command supports the same URIs as used in package
  definitions.  In particular, it supports ‘mirror://’ URIs.  ‘https’ URIs
  (HTTP over TLS) are supported _provided_ the Guile bindings for GnuTLS
  are available in the user’s environment; when they are not available, an
  error is raised.

:-)

Running ‘guix package -i gnutls’ and setting GUILE_LOAD_PATH as
suggested should enable GnuTLS support in ‘guix download’.

Let me know if there’s any problem.

HTH,
Ludo’.

This is because ‘guix build -S’ builds a derivation that uses our own
Guile and GnuTLS to perform the download.
