Boot of guixSD was interrupted by "In execvp of fsck.ext4: No such file
or directory" followed by a Bourne-like REPL. Entering ",q" allows boot
to continue normally.

This occurred while booting generation 7 (see below). Generation 6
booted normally.

Attached is my operating-system configuration.

bash-4.4$ uname -a
Linux guix 4.8.12-gnu #1 SMP 1 x86_64 GNU/Linux
bash-4.4$ which ext4.fsck
which: no ext4.fsck in
(/home/alex/.guix-profile/bin:/run/setuid-programs:/run/current-system/profile/bin:/run/current-system/profile/sbin)
