This looks a lot like this bug:

  https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/35690

In a nutshell, currently the installer cannot be restarted upon failure,
and this is why you got this ugly backtrace.

However, =E2=80=9Cfailed to build openssh=E2=80=9D looks like another failu=
re worth
investigating.  Do you have more info as to what happened exactly, what
was printed?  Can you reproduce it?  It would be great if you could post
a picture of the screen at that point.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
