This "... create-home-directory? ..." commit is eb56ee027 actually: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=eb56ee027b4c6b5682f69fa885d16e55c4495bd8 > [...] > In unknown file: > ?: 0 [system* "usermod" "-u" ...] > > ERROR: In procedure system*: > ERROR: Wrong type (expecting string): #t I think that commit is an ABI-breaking thing. Try to do "make clean-go" and remake the guix checkout again. Specifically, that commit didn't touch (gnu services base) module, so 'guix-build-accounts' procedure still produces guixbuilder users accounts in an "old" format. It's just my guess though, but "make clean-go" should work. -- Alex
