Got it: Mathieu worked around it in
0f66ef9aa99d2043abccbc80d858bdeca57534ac by explicitly adding e2fsprogs
and the installation system used by the tests:

  commit 0f66ef9aa99d2043abccbc80d858bdeca57534ac
  Author: Mathieu Othacehe <othacehe <at> gnu.org>
  Date:   Fri Sep 30 15:19:36 2022 +0200

      tests: install: Fix iso-image-installer test.

      This is a follow-up of: 45eac6cdf5c8d9d7b0c564b105c790d2d2007799.
      It fixes the following error:

      + mkfs.ext4 -L my-root /dev/vda2
      sh: line 12: mkfs.ext4: command not found

      * gnu/tests/install.scm (%test-iso-image-installer): Add e2fsprogs to the
      appended packages.

We should be able to revert this commit once the installer provides
e2fsprogs by default.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
