I've encountered a problem with installing GuixSD 0.15 (from the = latest ISO image (h= ttps://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guixsd-install-0.15.0.x86_64-linux.iso.xz= ) burnt to a DVD). I followed the manual as well as I could.

The first, no-so-important issue is that I get an error messag= e about some tools not beeing found by bash. These include mkfs.ext4, mkfs.= fat, parted, cfdisk. These are the only ones I really used and noticed it o= n. This doesn't always happen. Whenever I reboot from the DVD again, the co= mmands on which I get the error change. Sometimes for example mkfs.ext4 doe= sn't work, something else might work, you reboot and something else might b= reak while mkfs.ext4 might work again, it seems completely random. You can = workaround this by executing these tools directly from their directory (the= y are present!) such as going to e2fsprogs directory and manually executing= mkfs.ext4.

However, the real problem for is thi= s:

First of all, I partitioned and mounted as fo= llows:
/dev/sda1 is the ESP (I use EFI), mounted to /mnt/boot/efi=
/dev/sda2 is the main FS, label is "my-root" like in t= he manual, ext4, mounted to /mnt
/dev/sda3 is swap

I use the desktop.scm template as config.scm, minus the part f= or mapped devices and I replaced "my-root" with (file-system-labe= l "my-root") because guix system init told me to do so., rest is = left default.

On the first run of "guix system i= nit /mnt/etc/config.scm /mnt" I get a huge error message, its too big = to even see all of it (lists many many packages though). The end says that = the "builder for /gnu/store/*-profile.drv failed with exit code 1"= ;  and  that it "cannot build derivation "/gnu/store/*-= system.drv: 1 dependencies couldn't be built". I am unsure which depen= dency could not be built.

When I run "guix system= init /mnt/etc/config.scm /mnt" a second time I get 5 package collisio= n warnings (for wayland-egl.pc, giomodule.cache, libwayland-egl.la, mimeinf= o.cache, ifconfig), but it does get to the copying to /mnt stage.

I then, at some point in the copying to /mnt stage, get t= he following error:

"guix system: error: ls= tat: No such file or directory: " followed by a package directory

I've tried this several times and the packages I got= the errors on so far were:
guile-ssh 2 or 3 times
fuse= 2 or 3 times
guile 1 time

It seems ra= ndom on which of these packages I get the error.

I can't make any sense of these problems, and if further information is ne= eded I will of course provide it. Does anyone have an idea?
