This file lives in the store. Hum, I am surprised that a power shutdown
removed this file.
Well, I do not know if you can recover this empty file. At least, you
can the previous generation; e.g., guix package --roll-back.
Or you can extract a previous manifest with,
guix package -p /var/guix/profiles/per-user/<USER>/guix-profile-<NUMBER>-link \
--export-manifest > /tmp/manifest-<NUMBER>.scm
where <USER> and <NUMBER> depends on. Then,
guix package -m /tmp/manifest-<NUMBER>scm
will reinstall the same list of packages but at their current version
(the ones of current Guix revision; guix describe).
Cheers,
simon
