I corrupted my store and it says you want the guix pull output, so please find it at the end of this message. Mostly I send it because guix asks, but (see below) at least 2 things broke on that machine, not sure it's related. I have to explain a little but I don't actually require or expect that a lot of indivudually-tailored help can be given by GNU in this case... It's a non-standard use case on more than one account.
I have been doing more than a few unsupported things with this installation. Over the week-end and Monday, 3 things stand out: * I have been starting to use guix home on this guix which is not a guix system but which is on top of Debian. I have some user shepherd services. They still work as I'm writing this. I think this is unsupported though. * I tried to install a guix system to a thumb drive. It is inconvenient to use the ISO so I decided to do it from Guix on top of Debian. When I do this I can't start the cow-store service because it's only available from the ISO installer. Instead I can use the procedure mount-cow-store from guile REPL as root, and it goes through. I have done this in the past probably succesfully in virtual machines running guix system, although I could not say for sure if the store of the installing virtual machine survived it. This time however, it failed silently to install GRUB stage 1 correctly on the thumb drive. Then, I realized my store was broken on the installing machine on the next morning. * Guix was not in my paths because the latest guix profiles were not in the store anymore. As a last ditch effort I used rm to remove some links to non-existing store locations and ln to restore a chain of symbolic links to some recent Guix that were still in the store. I did this under /var/guix only. Because rm does what rm does, I can suppose I did not remove store files on top of what was already missing. guix-daemon did start, but then guix pull failed with the backtrace below The second point is kind of messy because I know for a fact that the grub-install from Debian was broken either by GRUB upstream, by Debian or by me, but not by guix. This in turn may or may not be weirdly related to how I may have corrupted the guix store of that machine when installing to the thumb drive... I also have a private channel but I don't think it's the cause. I have changed some path information, the private channel is accessed from a local machine filesystem path.
