Hi Gábor, Indeed, the command now finishes without errors. I slightly changed the config.scm in the meantime. For reference here is the one where it worked. I see no changes that could have had an impact but don't trust me on this. Thanks for the help, Edouard. ------config.scm ;; This is an operating system configuration template ;; for a "bare bones" setup, with no X11 display server.
