It seems to be timing-sensitive, is it deterministic?

One lesson here is that we should keep substitutes for a longer amount
of time—we actually have a lot of storage space on berlin so we should
investigate what happened.  (The NixOS folks currently keep substitutes
forever but they found it’s starting to be expensive…)

Thanks,
Ludo’.
