Hi Guix,

I was going to open this tomorrow, but odds are good that I'd
forget overnight, so very sleepy bug report time:

Commit 45eac6cdf5c8d9d7b0c564b105c790d2d2007799 removes mkfs.ext*
(and possibly others, didn't check) from $PATH unless the system
happens to have a <file-system> of that type.

The installer ISO still assumes the old behaviour of having
(again, at least) e2fsprogs in the system packages. One can no
longer ‘sudo mkfs.ext4’, although e2fsprogs is still present in
the store and can be manually invoked by a savvy user.

Should be an easy fix, feel free to beat me to it. I intend to
sleep in.

Kind regards,

T G-R

…well you didn't have to do it that fast. Patch in bug #58238.
Closing.

reopen 58239
thanks

Huh, I thought it was fixed, but with the 1.4.0rc1 installer image:
mkfs.ext4 is missing, but is needed for manual installation as
described in the manual. e2fsprogs is in /gnu/store though; I can run
the binaries in its sbin directory. The installer is among the `guix
gc --referrers` of its store filename.

Regards,
Florian

This will be resolved by patch#59661. And my mail was tactless. Sorry,
Tobias.

Closing.
