"Can you give more details about what goes wrong? Instructions to reproduce? This report is too vague."

Yes, sorry about that. Instructions:

1. Boot freshly installed/updated Guix with i3 installed.
2. At the login screen, bottom right, note the following error in red: "Error: status_command not found or is missing a library dependency (exit 127).
3. From the i3 first configuration window, type the <Enter> key "Yes, generate the config."
4. Choose <Win> "Win as a default modifier."
5. Note that the login screen freezes.
