Hi,

when I run `guix deploy' that ends in an error, the report does not include=
 all
information required to debug the issue.

    guix deploy: error: failed to deploy test: failed to switch systems whi=
le deploying '192.168.0.130':
    system-error "symlink" "~A" ("File exists") (17)

Would be somewhat useful to have the details about what file already exists=
=2E  If
I run `guix system switch-generation' directly on the target system, the ou=
tput
is better:

    guix system: error: symlink: File exists: "/etc/guix"

The information seems to be available, just not propagated via the `guix
deploy'.

Have a nice day,
W.

There are only two hard things in Computer Science:
cache invalidation, naming things and off-by-one errors.
