‘urandom-seed’ is already part of ‘%base-services’. I have Guix System
on ‘core-updates’ since Sept. 19th, and I haven’t experienced the
problem (or at least it always booted without troubles; could it be that
I didn’t notice?).
Did you remove ‘urandom-seed’ from your list of services?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
