Hi!

I pushed the whole patch series with the fix as
05ceb8dcaf480a47cddf94ac979070b76df6556c.

The final patch series uses a new internal helper, ‘guix
perform-download’, instead of trying to bend ‘guix download’ to these
specific needs.

Fixed-output derivations for HTTPS downloads depend on GnuTLS.  However,
pkg-config, one of GnuTLS’s dependencies, is now available exclusively
over HTTPS, which creates a bootstrapping issue, as reported by
Christopher W Carpenter and others:
