Most of these recent corrupt archives problems are due to corruptions in
the mirror's cache — the mirror will only try (and possibly fail) to
pull an archive from hydra.gnu.org if hydra has built it successfully.

So, passing --substitute-urls=https://hydra.gnu.org or --fallback are
both reasonable ways to work around the failure.

Please keep reporting these!
