Re: "bad use of syntactic keyword" - after "sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm"

[Gottfried]

Hi Guixers,

thanks for the answer.

I changed my config.scm to:

(service guix-service-type
               config => (guix-configuration
                 (inherit config)


and after:
gfp@Tuxedo ~$ sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm

it said:

I believe the correct usage would be

   (service guix-service-type ...)
