Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2016 18:05:24 +0100

Guix requests a substitute for “texlive-texmf” even though it is marked
as not substitutable.  This is a problem for many users because hydra
does not offer a substitute for this package.  Users have to pass
“--fallback” to make Guix build the package from source.

Only the “texlive-texmf” package is marked as not substitutable.

I believe this was fixed in bdb59b331bac0dea4a75b055334313ddc7bfecc8.
Now I get:

I noticed this before the recent work on modular Texlive.

Yes, this is unrelated to modular texlive.  What I meant to show here is
that ‘texlive-texmf’ is built from source.
