I think your guix files are old but your config needs new version. Have you performed `guix pull && guix package -u` first? If this line causes the errors too, try this way: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix/2018-09/msg00153.html It helped me: just boot with another (may be the oldest) kernel and make updates with `guix pull && guix package -u` And then try again. If not, post `guix describe` if it will be renewed.

I'm still getting the same error. The backtrace says the error happens "In unknown file", so I suspect the problem is in an eval or macro somewhere. Luther
