This commit causes a major problem on my Lemote YeeLoong (mips64el) machine running GuixSD. I don't know whether it might affect others. When I run 'guix system reconfigure' to update to a system with this commit, it unloads the older %elogind-file-system services, which causes my X server to crash and leave me in text mode with my keyboard in the wrong mode, so I have to hard reset the machine. In addition, the 'guix system reconfigure' gets stuck. (I can see this because I always run it in a text terminal; I do all my 'root' work there.) I've tried it twice, and transcribed (by hand) the last few lines of the output from 'guix system reconfigure': First time: making '/gnu/store/f0z88r...-system' the current system... guix system: unloading service 'file-system-/sys/fs/cgroup/elogind'... wlp0s14f5u3: deauthenticating from xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx by local choice (Rea= son: 3=3DDEAUTH_LEAVING) Second time: making '/gnu/store/f0z88r...-system' the current system... guix system: unloading service 'file-system-/run/systemd'... I'm not sure if it's relevant, but I don't have 'elogin-service' on my YeeLoong. I can't run it there because it depends on 'mozjs' which fails to build on mips64el. Mark
