`dockerd` service not starting

[Tanguy LE CARROUR <tanguy@bioneland.org>]

Hi Guix,

My `dockerd` service has stopped working weeks (months!?) ago, but I've
had no use for it in the meantime, so it was no big deal, until today…

My configuration looks like this:

```scm
;…
(use-service-modules desktop docker)

(operating-system
  ;…
  (services
    (append
      (list
        (service docker-service-type)
       ;…
       ))))
```

This used to be enough. But now, it doesn't auto-start any more and,
when I `sudo herd start dockerd`, it hangs and displays:

```console
$ sudo herd start dockerd
Password:
Service dockerd could not be started.
herd: failed to start service dockerd
```

The log contains the following:

```log:/var/log/docker.log
time="2022-03-31T11:31:32.027833616+02:00" level=info msg="Starting up"

failed to start daemon: failed to dial "/run/containerd/containerd.sock": unknown service containerd.services.namespaces.v1.Namespaces: not implemented
```

`containerd` seems to be running fine, even though I sometimes see the
following in the log:

```log:/var/log/docker.log
failed to start containerd: exec: "containerd": executable file not found in $PATH
```

Actually, it looks like a problem reported in another thread [1][] a year ago,
that hasn't (yet) found a solution!? :-(

Any help welcome!
