‘guix system image’ chokes on host's /var |

Guix,
I can't build the older installer image I want, ostensibly because my
installed system is too new (anno-post-apteryx-versioning; no time to
further investigate I'm afraid).
I expect a self-contained system not to care and certainly not to crash.
~/guix ⌥ v1.3.0-15828-gd5b4ca4445 λ ./pre-inst-env guix system image -t
iso9660 gnu/system/install.scm

Hey,

Yes, that's because profile-boot-parameters was always evaluated in the
perform-action procedure of the (guix scripts system) module.
This has recently been fixed with
9d30cfa3372cccc847e75038d34c4ea5b8d8b241. Tobias, you can cherry-pick
this patch on top of 1.3.0 if you'd like to generate an old installer
image. I just managed to do so successfully :).
Closing this one,
Thanks,
Mathieu
