Hi Pierre,

Can you try, as root on Guix System:

$ echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone

If you could report success or failure that would be helpful; the
unprivileged-user-namespace-supported? test in gnu/build/linux-
container.scm should be the same irrespective of the underlying
distribution (Debian, CentOS, Guix System ...).

Best regards,

Paul.

Hi!

I can reproduce the issue since I 'recondigure'd my Guix System.

I'm on cebfb29abb151ede95696181d2446c63504593d7.

Guix' bug?
