Ouch :-/.
Do you know at which guix commit this happened? I'm wondering which
version of libvirt triggered this. AFAICT, right now, if you create a
fresh VM using gnome-boxes, it initializes the xml config with the qemu
in /run/current-system/profile, which looks like the right thing to do.
I've just tested this downloading a fedora image via gnome-boxes, using
either libvirt 5.8 or 7.2 under the hood (updated just now).
Could it be that you created a VM before the bug was fixed? Which would
have left a xml config that refers to GC-able qemu in .config/libvirt,
which a guix update cannot automatically migrate (although one day it might!).
Let me know if I've got this wrong.
Thanks,
Pierre
