It seems you asked it to build the 'deb-pack' target per the above error, not 
'ubuntu_22.04', as the error was produced by Guix.  It seems your version of 
Guix is too old, and doesn't know about the --postinst-file argument of 'guix 
pack -f deb'.  You should update it by running 'guix pull'.

I think the build expects to proceed from a tarball including all the potential 
bundled libraries it may need.
To produce one, you should run this target:

make -f extras/packaging/gnu-linux/Makefile portable-release-tarball

prior to running your packaging target.

I hope that helps,

Maxim
