While updating my profile with "guix package -c1 -u", "substitute-binary
--query" hung for 36 minutes with ~90% CPU utilization without any
active network connections and without printing any output. Here was
the relevant excerpt from 'ps auxwwf' after about 30 minutes of CPU
time:

Looking at the nginx logs on hydra, I see that it downloaded a single
nar file (for paredit) very soon after starting up, and then didn't
download anything else from hydra until ~36 minutes later, when it
downloaded /nix-cache-info and then a narinfo file. It then proceeded
to do several grafting operations locally.
The 'guix package' command I'm running is v0.8.1-90-g710f3ce, and the
'guix-daemon' and substitute binary is guix-0.8.1.f1082ec.
Any ideas what it was doing during those 36 silent minutes?
