Reverting 7d567af46b4e10ffafb1d0f76b524f5781460598 fixes the problem, so
I guess this has to do with the fact that the previous partition objects
(those listed in =E2=80=98initial-partitions=E2=80=99) are invalidated or s=
omething.

Now we need another way to address
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/35731>.

Ideas?

Thanks,
