The upstream-provided tarball has probably been changed on the server
without a version bump.  The reason why you can still use it with
substitutes is that Guix just uses the version that's built with the old
tarball because we know its hash.  When you try to download it from
upstream, Guix rightfully complains that the hash has changed and
refuses to go forward!

Best,
