et the same error message (No such file) and the file is still there.

Indeed, I just realized that the cleanup code runs before
/run/current-system has been created; thus it does not have access to
locale data and =E2=80=98setlocale=E2=80=99 fails.

I cannot think of a nice way to address this unfortunately.  :-(

The problem of how to deal with file name encoding has been discussed on
the Guile side so hopefully the next release in the 2.2 series will have
a solution for this.
