bug#53459: error while installing with existing partitions |

Hi,
I was trying to get guix installed on my x86_64 machine. (icore 3, 16Gb
RAM, 1TB ssd, ethernet working, using the guix curses installer)
Originally I tried as the only distribution in the system, but grub-efi
wouldn't get installed or recognised by the bios on boot.
Instead I decided to install debian on the first 500Gb and guix on the
second half. My idea is that by sharing the boot/efi partition and
debian managing the boot I would be able to boot guix as well
Debian created the following partitions
1 537mb fat32 /boot/efi
2 512mb ext2 /boot
3 500GB encrypted volume
Then with guix I manually added the 4th partition as encrypted volume
with / mount point.
After the guix installer ask for the password for the new encrypted volume, I'd
see the following error:
```
ice-9/eval.scm:159:9: Throw to key 'match-error' with args '("match" "no
matching pattern" (#f ext4))'
```
I have attached a literal screenshot with the whole backtrace.
Any suggestions on how to go forward?
Thanks,
Nestor
