This time, one of my packages in a custom channel failed with "no code for (term ansi-color)" (the package definition: https://gitlab.com/sirgazil/guix-channel-x/-/blob/master/sirgazil-x/packages/guile.scm#L13). This is not a new package in my profile, I've been using it for a long time. Since both error seemed to be related to Guile, I removed all Guile-related packages from my profile and tried upgrading again. This time, the upgrade succeeded.
