In the case of “keyval” I don’t know exactly what is wrong, but in
general it looks like the importer doesn’t use subversion from the store
but expects it to be available in the environment.

If you don’t have subversion in the environment this will fail:

But it’s fine when run inside “guix environment --ad-hoc subversion”.

“keyval” is different, though, as it fails no matter if subversion is
available or not.

For packages like that I had a simple workaround to avoid computing the
hash when the SVN download failed:

The real problem here that should be fixed first, however, is that the
subversion package isn’t used automatically.

For now, we could always return an error like “svn command not found” or
similar?

I think this old bug [1] is fixed now.  The 2 examples works now and
from my understanding, I do not have SVN in my profiles as user.

Closing?

The SVN parts still fail, but at least the rest of the import 
works fine.

Yes, please.

I’d like to note that this importer should eventually be replaced. 
I have some WIP for a new importer.
