bug#60265: Unbootable system after guix gc

Hello,

I ran ‘guix gc’ then rebooted my machine which
now refuses to boot. I guess that some store item is wrongly collected.

This is not the first time it occurs but I never reported it.

A screenshot is attached. All other system generations are affected as
well. Fixing it is quite painful as it involves finding an USB drive to
reconfigure the system.

bug#60265: (No Subject)

do you have other channels added, or did this happen on a vanilla Guix install?

it's a duplicate of https://issues.guix.gnu.org/57838

if this happened on a vanilla Guix install, then we should reopen that issue, and merge this into that one.

Right it is a duplicate and it is related to the use of an extra
channel. Good news is that I found a fix.

Closing this one.

Thanks,
