Hi Andreas,

I'm not subscribed to help-guix, so I saw this only by chance.
If you had filed a bug report, I would have seen it sooner.

See <https://bugs.gnu.org/43487> for a description of the problem, and
how to get the bundled extensions working again at the cost of resetting
your preferences and addons to their defaults.  A proper fix will
require some coding that has not yet been done.

      Regards,
        Mark
