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

Hello fellow guixers.

I've found that I cannot build httpd package because of download issues.

downloading from 
http://www.eu.apache.org/dist/httpd/httpd-2.4.58.tar.bz2 ...

sha256 hash mismatch for 
/gnu/store/sil2xmw01qmyygdbhvrsvyvmaviha2dy-httpd-2.4.58.tar.bz2:
  expected hash: 1id45r2ccgkbjm9i998997ch32lvicpyynyx8x6aa4420wmdf5ps
  actual hash:   0mdqa9w1p6cmli6976v4wi0sw9r4p5prkj7lzfd1877wk11c9c73

On the other hand, Apache web site states clearly that it doesn't use 
mirror system anymore:
"As of the third quarter of 2021, the ASF stopped using its download 
mirror system. It is now using a global content distribution network 
(CDN)."
https://www.apache.org/mirrors.html

So I've made a patch that disables Apache mirrors for httpd <at> 2.4.58 and 
httpd/pinned <at> 2.4.52 packages.
