service 'term-tty2' provided more than once

[Felix Lechner via Development of GNU Guix and the GNU System distribution.]

Hi,

I drop agetty and mingetty from %base-services [1] and then add greed
and mingetty in the way I prefer. [2] My last successful configure was
about a month ago (and after Bruno rewrote many of those services.) As
of recently, my deployments fail with

    service 'term-tty2' provided more than once

Did someone change the way the virtual terminals are provisioned in
%base-services? Thanks!

Kind regards,
Felix

Hello Felix Lechner.

A workaround is in <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/63921#5> namely
multiple (delete mingetty-service-type) as in

(modify-services %base-services
 (delete login-service-type)
 (delete mingetty-service-type)
 (delete mingetty-service-type)
 (delete mingetty-service-type)
 (delete mingetty-service-type)
 (delete mingetty-service-type)
 (delete mingetty-service-type))

David Wilson has described a way to fix this bug in Guix
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/64106>, but noone has done it yet.

Regards,
Florian
