This is very odd.  Can you paste the output of:

cat /gnu/store/dp8ywhh22n8ixikqdvsb6w6qbn4iw899-environment.drv ?

Does it make any difference if you drop --image-size (which is now
autodetected) and/or --share?

Do you get the same error if you don't use "./pre-inst-env"?

What does 'git describe' output in your repository?

Ok, so in running

I had messed up my installation, so guix pull didn't work anymore

I think I fixed it now

guix pull ust worked, I reconfigured my system

but this still happens

that didn't help :-/

Re: system vm fails

[Catonano]

and from a checked out gix I get

~/projects/guix$ sudo ./pre-inst-env guix pull
guix pull: error: Guile-Git is missing but it is now required by 'guix
pull'.
Install it by running:

  guix package -i guile-git
