[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: guix
Version: 0.10.0

I'm not totally sure about this, but my assertion is that the list of
substitutes should not be updated if --no-substitutes is present on the command
line.  However, guix version 0.10.0 fails my assertion.  

Example output:


  $ guix package --dry-run --no-substitutes -i st
  warning: failed to install locale: Invalid argument
  substitute: warning: failed to install locale: Invalid argument
  substitute: updating list of substitutes from 'http://hydra.gnu.org'... 100.0%

Note the line which contains "substitute: updating list of substitutes [...]".

Guix 0.10.0 is the version I get when I run `guix package -i guix`.

Thanks,

You are correct: --no-substitutes should entirely inhibit connections to
the substitute servers.

Commit 151afd84dc9bf8f13de79a689f7f163fba7254ec (May 31st) fixed
something in this area.  However, the change is in ‘guix-daemon’, so you
need to build and install ‘guix-daemon’ to take advantage of it (the
current ‘guix’ package with version 0.10.0-0.e901 is older than this
change.)

HTH,
Ludo’.

I can confirm that a checkout of commit
151afd84dc9bf8f13de79a689f7f163fba7254ec (guix-0.10.0-0.151a on my system) does
not contain the bug.

Thanks, there is no bug to fix here!
