On two systems, even after make clean and ./bootstrap again I ran into
this at the end of guix system build foo.scm:

I can’t seem to reproduce it.  Could you send a reduced OS config that
reproduces this?

Thanks,

Okay. Do you know what's the best way to simplify the disks part of the
config? Is it okay if I just use what our system tests use?

I'll wait for your reply and send the config then.

I'm not impatient, I just did a check on a third computer which differs
from the other two. I was able to rule out that the set of services is
to blame, the only lines they share is this:

(locale-libcs (list glibc-2.23 (canonical-package glibc))) 
(locale "en_US.UTF-8")

The rest, excluding the (users) is completely different on each system.
All configs used to work, I even updated the systems ~1.5 weeks ago.

Fixed. Solution was to remove:

(locale-libcs (list glibc-2.23 (canonical-package glibc)))

or glibc-2.22 depending on the machine.

This also fixed the ssh problem.

After some more investigation, this turns out to be an instance of
<https://bugs.gnu.org/24703>, which is fixed in core-updates but not in
master yet.

For now a workaround is the one you gave.   :-/

Oh. I thought that was already fixed, being so old. Okay, thanks.
