I have tried a mix of `guix gc --verify=contents,repair`, `guix gc`, `guix pull && guix package -u`, but I would always still have those finds of inconsistent hashsums with `guix gc --verify=contents` until I did:

~~~~
$ sudo -i
$ guix gc
$ guix pull && guix package -u
~~~~

Which I think means, that now I am on a different version of guix itself. Now it does not find any inconsistent hashes with `guix gc --verify=contents`:

~~~~
$ guix gc --verify=contents
reading the store...
checking path existence...
checking hashes...
~~~~

So I deleted and built the emacs profile again using `guix package --manifest="${GUIX_EXTRA_PROFILES}"/emacs-profile-manifest.scm --profile="${GUIX_EXTRA_PROFILES}"/emacs-profile`.

However, no luck. Still magit cannot be loaded. Still saying that:

~~~~
Unable to activate package ‘magit’.
Required package ‘git-commit-3.3.0’ is unavailable
~~~~

Not sure what else I can try.
Best regards,
Zelphir
