	I’m having the same issue, and I’ve seen at least one other
person on IRC having it as well. We all pulled guix today.

	I would have liked to start looking into it, but I have no idea
where to even begin. I tried turning ‘verbose’ to 100 (I don’t know what
valid values are, and can’t find documentation for the flag, so I assume
higher is more logging), and the output was the same. I can’t even tell
what it was trying to rmdir.

	I can appreciate that things like this happen in a rolling
release, particularly on a feature this new and in heavy development,
but I find it frustrating that I wasn’t even able to get a toe hold into
figuring out specifically where things were failing, so I could either
fix it myself, or provide details to the mailing list. I am *very* new
to Guix, so I’m hoping that I’m just ignorant of how to start debugging
a problem like this. I would deeply appreciate any guidance on the
matter, as it would allow me to feel more comfortable, and hopefully
more useful, in this environment.
