Because the official Guix Cuirass in Be= rlin is ridiculously slow, I used a modified installer with the SJTUG mirro= r as the first substitute URL and the Guix Cuirass server as second substit= ute URL. However, during guided install the SJTUG server gave strange errors to the = substituter (which I was unable to capture since it was an install environm= ent and I had no good way to copy-paste from it - I am running Guix on the = metal, not in a VM). Now of course any failure in the first substitute URL should cause the subs= tituter to fall back to the second substitute URL and so on, but that's 471= 47 *This* bug report is about `guix system init --fallback`. The same errors happened when I fell back to manual installation and used `= guix system init`. So I tried passing in `--fallback` to make Guix build t= he package (some `e2fsck` package, do not remember details) instead of tryi= ng to download it from SJTUG (since it couldn't download it, it would fail = catastrophically). In order to continue, I had to use `guix system build --fallback`, which se= emed to work in that it completed, and a a subsequent `guix system init` su= cceeded. So it looks to me that `guix system init` does not propagate `--fallback`. Thanks raid5atemyhomework
