The profile generation/union code generates broken symlinks. I've
reproduced this on 2 different machines (both Debian running Guix).
To reproduce, run:
guix environment --pure --container --ad-hoc nss-certs findutils
coreutils
[env]# find $GUIX_ENVIRONMENT/etc/ssl/certs -xtype l -exec head {} \;
head: cannot open
'/gnu/store/g41lycan2cq74qfs6acsxmxk4c4ra0pd-profile/etc/ssl/certs/Certinomis_-_Autorit??_Racine:2.1.1.pem'

Note the ?? in the names, which are the points where the names are
incorrect.
This will cause errors like Throw to key `gnutls-error' with args
`(#<gnutls-error-enum Error while reading file.> when using Guix.

If we can’t have French root authority certificates, we definitely have
a problem. ;-)
Fixed in commit 1af0860e8be81c01ad405c1226d6bc4516e62863.
Commit 580deec5b44d623e994e59ef07e9e0c5496762fd has the download code
ignore dangling symlinks.
Thanks!
Ludo’.
