That turned out to be awfully terrible, and we had just been lucky so
far: <http://bugs.gnu.org/15602>.

The workaround is in commit 178f77b.  To get it, you=E2=80=99ll have to run
=E2=80=98guix pull=E2=80=99 from a Git checkout, with =E2=80=98./pre-inst-e=
nv guix pull=E2=80=99.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
