If the first install fails (e.g. when the build fails, see separate
bug report on MATE install), it is possible to retry the installation.
However, on the second attempt the installer crashes when selecting a
keyboard layout.
A backtrace is displayed; the important part appears to be this:

I believe the broader issue is that the installer cannot really be
restarted after a failed install, as we discussed a while back on
guix-devel. Mathieu, can you confirm?
Thanks,

I'm not aware of this layout issue, however, after the installer is
restarted, the install is doomed because some mounts can't be
undone.
I didn't find a way to fix this, so maybe we should advise/force a
reboot upon installer failure?

Maybe, though we should also offer a way to collect more debugging info
and report the issue, which means at least letting people read error
messages.
Thoughts?
