Hello Guix,
When substitute* encounters a nonexistent file, the error is reported to
the guix CLI like so:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
error: in phase 'bake-tor': uncaught exception:
system-error "mkstemp" "~A" ("No such file or directory") (2)
phase `bake-tor' failed after 0.0 seconds

The main error message, "system-error "mkstemp" "~A" ("No such file or
directory") (2)" is malformed and doesn't report the actual file which
is missing; one must decipher the backtrace for clues as to which file
caused the error.
We should improve it :-).
