Hi Leo, your commit a3002104: system: Assert, that user and group names are unique. breaks `guix system reconfigure` for me and other people (at least two in IRC). $ guix system reconfigure config.scm guix system: error: the following groups appear more than once: lp $ sudo grep lp /etc/group lp:x:989: lpadmin:x:975: $ sudo grep lp /etc/passwd lp:!:18467:::::: The same happend on my server with the `nginx` group. I reverted it for the mean time, as I find it pretty grave... ~Jonathan
The original bug with the patch leading to this issue is: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/45570

I would have preferred, if you could instead have demoted it to a warning. I understand, that stuff suddenly breaking can be frustrating, but I doubt the configurations you're using are fine. > ~Jonathan Regards, Leo

I've re-applied the patch with errors demoted to warnings. I hope you
and the other people, who've reported this in IRC will be able to
figure out where the duplicate groups come from.
