Shepherd configuration throws exception

[Gabor Barnabas Gero]

Hello all,

In a recent home configuration, I added a service to automatically start 
the Emacs daemon. Afterwards, the shepherd.conf item in the store throws 
an exception and the system refuses to continue booting. The error 
disappears when I roll back to an older generation, and the shepherd 
socket is created but booting still doesn't continue and name resolution 
doesn't work, even after deleting resolv.conf and restarting 
NetworkManager multiple times. What can I do?

Thanks in advance,

Gábor Gerő
