Hello again Guix,
Thanks, everyone, for the replies to my inital message. Reading through
them, I developed a hunch that that the issue might only occur when you
configure additional channels in your system configuration, and I think
I've been able to verify this.
Rutherther suggested that I share my configuration. I figured that my
sprawling multi-file configuration would present far more noise than
useful information - so, with much effort, I installed Guix into a VM,
then built up a minimal configuration from the initial template until I
could reproduce the issue.
As I suspected, the issue does not show up until you add additional
channels in your configuration file - in the case of the configuration
below, that means adding the `my-channels` definition and the
`modify-services` form. When you reconfigure after doing that, you
should see it updating the channel repositories as I originally
described.
