new guix on Debian builder is amnesic about its builder group

new guix on Debian builder is amnesic about its builder group

[Nils Gillmann]

Hi,

this is the 3rd reinstall of Guix I'm doing because every reboot the daemon,
run with the defaul values, no changes, keeps forgetting about its group:

build machine:

root@cult ~ # guix build --verbosity=10 hello
guix build: error: build failed: the group `guixbuild' specified in `build-users-group' does not exist

root@cult ~ # guix --version
guix (GNU Guix) d8ac79870132a00529825a09d73ad5cb7d2347bd

What's the fix for this annoyance? Anything I've missed recently?

Alternatively I'm open for field experience notes on Hetzner
infrastructure (cloud and dedicated) or to talk to them about
providing GuixSD as an option ISO image (my first attempt was not
succesful).

This looks like <https://bugs.gnu.org/30298>. See that thread for how to
fix it.
