Eventual success, partially.

Apparently no. If I commit only those two diffs from your mail, with
`./pre-inst-env guix system image -t iso9660 --label=Guix
gnu/system/install.scm`, then
guix gc --references /gnu/store/*-installer-real
prints a Guix package that does not contain any of the changes to
gnu/installer/final.scm.
Nonetheless I used it and ran the installer with surprising failures
that make me doubt either the health of my USB drive: `guix system
init --fallback` did not download substitutes but said ACL seems to be
uninitialized and fell back to downloading/building the tar.xz
sources. I pulled the Ethernet plug, resumed the installer to run
`guix system init` again, but this now complains that nss-certs is an
unknown package. Sending a dump crashed the installer. On TTY3, `ls
/tmp` tells me '-bash: ls: command not found'.
Another USB drive, another try, the installer again says there's no
ACL and downloads tar.xz, but otherwise behaves as rc2 and sometimes
bugs out when pulling Ethernet; final.scm does not contain the patch.
Is that second diff of yours perhaps really about ACLs?
I do the authorization dance, commit the diff about 'stop-service' and
the update-guix-package, then pull --branch=version-1.4.0. I can now
resume happily, when pulling the Ethernet and even when pressing
Ctrl-C just for fun.
Except it is necessary to resume twice. The first resume always fails
and the second resume resumes. Does it confuse the two databases?
Except after a large number of resumes, not even the second resume
resumes anymore. I sent a installer-dump-c82c7abf.
I shall try with fsync now.
Regards,
Florian
