Hi Guix,

Today after a guix pull to commit 
e3545ffcf95bffbbd967efd852715f4f0a9be290, guix system reconfigure fails to 
install grub (bios grub on x86_64) with

guix system: error: failed to install bootloader /gnu/store/45myfaqas69fnp3mfbqlsf9lafm30cl0-bootloader-installer

/gnu/store/45myfaqas69fnp3mfbqlsf9lafm30cl0-bootloader-installer is

(eval-when (expand load eval) (set! %load-path (cons 
"/gnu/store/wa7bn283y9pg2h5g75j1fmqbp1m5js7w-module-import" (append (map 
(lambda (extension) (string-append extension "/share/guile/site/" 
(effective-version))) (quote ())) %load-path))) (set! %load-compiled-path 
(cons "/gnu/store/w5a1xk656i0sw15mqj7bz8zp130c8m27-module-import-compiled" 
(append (map (lambda (extension) (string-append extension "/lib/guile/" 
(effective-version) "/site-ccache")) (quote ())) 
%load-compiled-path))))(begin (use-modules (gnu build bootloader) (guix 
build utils) (ice-9 binary-ports) (srfi srfi-34) (srfi srfi-35)) (guard (c 
((message-condition? c) (format (current-error-port) "error: ~a~%" 
(condition-message c)) (exit 1))) ((lambda (bootloader device mount-point) 
(let ((grub (string-append bootloader "/sbin/grub-install")) (install-dir 
(string-append mount-point "/boot"))) (setenv "GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK" 
"y") (invoke/quiet grub "--no-floppy" "--target=i386-pc" 
"--boot-directory" install-dir device))) 
"/gnu/store/shbswxl2g7n6fvi6gq45bvan4saygkv2-grub-2.02" "/dev/sda" "/") 
(format #t "bootloader successfully installed on '~a'~%" device)))

Unfortunately, I don't remember the last commit for which I successfully 
reconfigured and installed gurb. My operating system definition is below.

Best,
Jack
