The fix looks good to me. I don't have commit access so you may want to
send it off to guix-patches so it's not lost.
(info "(guix) Submitting Patches")

If you can, please submit in plaintext. The formatting here looks odd. :)

Hi!

"ieure" on IRC #guix suggested I email this list to inquire about whether
this bugfix was ever merged:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix/2024-06/msg00145.html

Currently the Guix installer is broken on WSL2 systems as a result of this
bug. Applying the patch fixes it.

The above patch hadn't been merged; I've manually applied it now, in
commit 99bf56fd50, already pushed.

Let me know if something is still not working.
