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 while 
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.  If
I run `guix system switch-generation' directly on the target system, the output
is better:

    building /gnu/store/jqnxwfq6f5gvyjz0avqaakkd0ljbzglj-grub.cfg.drv...
    building

    switched from generation 83 to 83

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

Have a nice day,
W.
