=E2=80=A6 and the daemon went on to substitute libgc-7.6.4-debug.

This apparently has to do with multiple-output derivations where not all
of the outputs are substitutable.  The loop could come from
SubstitutionGoal::tryNext, which recurses:

    SubstitutablePathInfos infos;
    PathSet dummy(singleton<PathSet>(storePath));
    worker.store.querySubstitutablePathInfos(sub, dummy, infos);
    SubstitutablePathInfos::iterator k =3D infos.find(storePath);
    if (k =3D=3D infos.end()) { tryNext(); return; }
    info =3D k->second;
    hasSubstitute =3D true;

Ludo=E2=80=99.
