The 'syslog' macro cannot be resolved in the pre-unwind-handlercontext. Failed to resolve 'syslog' in this context resulted in the swallowingof all installation errors.
Fixes 5c04b00cf463a543b8ffc9eb55991f6b4cc145dd.
* gnu/installer.scm (installer-program): Do not try to resolve 'syslog' macroin the pre-unwind-handler.---
Hello,
Since the commit 5c04b00c, error reporting in the installer is broken. Sadlythis means that every error happening in the 1.1.0 release will result in aninstaller restart, without any error information reporting.
Thanks,
Mathieu

Please add (gnu installer utils) to the list of use-modules.‘@@’ should only be used in extreme situations.
