bug#24335: Error when invoking usermod while reconfiguring

[Leo Famulari]

While reconfiguring my GuixSD system from 1062f2451 (gnu: Add stagit),
the process fails as show below.

When I revert 2d1a2f4af (system: Add 'create-home-directory?' field to
<user-account>) and the associated commit cb58b2cd, the reconfigure
completes successfully.

This "... create-home-directory? ..." commit is eb56ee027 actually:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=eb56ee027b4c6b5682f69fa885d16e55c4495bd8

I think that commit is an ABI-breaking thing.  Try to do "make clean-go"
and remake the guix checkout again.

Specifically, that commit didn't touch (gnu services base) module, so
'guix-build-accounts' procedure still produces guixbuilder users
accounts in an "old" format.  It's just my guess though, but "make
clean-go" should work.

Indeed, you’re right.  Sorry for not mentioning it earlier.

Oops, I copied the commit hashes of my reversions.

I ended up needing to use `make clean`, but everything worked after
that. Thanks!
