Hi,

Robert Vollmert <rob <at> vllmrt.net> skribis:

Yeah, this is terrible, and really a Guile bug.  In (guix ui), we have
‘error-reporting-wrapper’ that we use to “fix” several functions such as
‘copy-file’ that would otherwise fail to provide the relevant info.

We should really fix it for good in Guile 3.0, though.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
