Oooh, I see.  I hadn’t realized this happened while running the 0.9.0
installation image.

So what happens is that (1) substitutes were not available for the
‘guix’ package, which is why it ended up being built, and (2) /tmp is
indeed a FUSE file system on the installation image (unionfs), hence the
weird FUSE things that get in the way when running the tests.

I’ll see what can be done.

Thanks!
