Could this be specific to the raspberrypi?  I cannot reproduce such
problem using a remote Guix System.  But I just tried using a Buildroot
target I had on hand, and I could reproduce something similar:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ssh-copy-id target
/home/maxim/.guix-profile/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: attempting to log in with the new key(s), to filter out any that are already installed
/home/maxim/.guix-profile/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: 1 key(s) remain to be installed -- if you are prompted now it is to install the new keys
/home/maxim/.guix-profile/bin/ssh-copy-id: line 251: warning: here-document at line 251 delimited by end-of-file (wanted `EOF')
/home/maxim/.guix-profile/bin/ssh-copy-id: line 250: warning: here-document at line 250 delimited by end-of-file (wanted `EOF')
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/etc/dropbear’: Permission denied
Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal.
Warning: Permanently added '10.42.0.243' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.
root@10.42.0.243's password: 
-sh: ssh-rsa: not found
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I think it probably has to do with the script not finding the tools it
expects on the minimal (embedded) environments of the
Rasperrypi/Buildroot.  I'll try to have a closer look soon.

Thanks,

Maxim

It happens with both my gentoo machines as well. But they can copy id's
among each other fine.

This was fixed by Jesse in 81fbe03b509414aa1ede960141a7ffd241d5f9ee.

Thanks for the report!
