Did you use --no-substitutes?

No, but anyway I can't use the substituter on x86.

This is a blocking bug for anyone who would like to try Guix from the
git repository, so I'd like to have this fixed in master. WDYT ?

It can still be found at mirror://sourceforge/libpng/zlib-1.2.7.tar.gz.
So for the moment I would suggest changing the ‘uri’ field to a list:

      (origin
       (method url-fetch)
       (uri (list (string-append "http://zlib.net/zlib-";
                                  version ".tar.gz")
                  (string-append "mirror://sourceforge/libpng/zlib-"
                                  version ".tar.gz")))
       (sha256
        (base32
         "1i96gsdvxqb6skp9a58bacf1wxamwi9m9pg4yn7cpf7g7239r77s")))

OK, I'll resend.

And the upgrade can be scheduled for later, in a ‘core-updates’ branch.

OK.
