The problem appears to be that latest-ftp-release in (guix 
gnu-maintenance) always constructs a ftp:// URL, even if mirror:// is 
desired.

This happens for the gnu-ftp updater, which is according to a comment 
next to its definition, obsolescent. I'll try changing the packages to 
use the generic-html updater instead, maybe gnu-ftp can be removed 
afterwards ...

Maxime.

The 'change to generic-html' plan didn't work out, generic-html has the 
same problem ...

I think I've found a solution: extract some mirror://-generating code 
from check-mirror-url and use it in check-mirror-url. Currently trying 
this out ...

Maxime.
