System doesn't boot after recent pull and system reconfigure.

System doesn't boot after recent pull and system reconfigure.

Hello Folks!

After a recent `guix pull` and `guix system reconfigure`, the boot process gets
stuck at the line "Error in finalization thread: success". I also got these
warnings (https://paste.debian.net/plain/1207184) at the end of system
reconfigure.

Guix Describe: https://paste.debian.net/plain/1207192
System Configuration: https://paste.debian.net/plain/1207192

Any ideas?

Regards,
RG.

You pasted the same link twice so there's no way to see the config. :)

Also, did you change anything in the config since the previous
reconfigure?

Cheers,

Upto commit 5d8c2b742c7bc105536af56b08edb5d3349412a8, system reconfigure and
reboot happens successfully.

At commit 189003c83ee04e1819245c861c1ba31597db537d, system reconfigure gives
that warning and reboot fails.

I checked the commit and it's superweird that it fails there,
the only changes are removals of urls that are dead.

I tested the urls and they are actually dead so it shouldn't
change anything...

So I tried removing services colord, network-manager and upower; which 
are the only gnome-based services in my config.scm; then no boot issues 
and reconfigure warnings.

When I add them back, the warnings happen and boot fails.

Things are okay now after `guix gc --delete-generations` and then 
retrying `guix system reconfigure`.
