bug#54833: system reconfigure fails: error: live-service-transient: unbound variable

[Paul Alesius]

The latest commits seem to have changed something and now I am unable
to reconfigure the system. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank
you.

bug#54833: system reconfigure fails: error: live-service-transient: unbound variable

[Marek Paśnikowski]

I can confirm I encountered the very same bug on my computer.

Paul, you were off by one with your downgrade.
I was able to reconfigure my system with the preceding commit
975966ba09e24d813cf94a794c4bd6375777372a .
Which means that commit a2c759c8304c461d096ab763568e7f71546ff4e8 is the
offender.

Hello

I ran into the same error yesterday. But today I was able to
reconfigure after pulling (commit
7da907f90e74a4edf96d76ee457ff958265ef8d4). Looks like this issue was
fixed.

This was fixed earlier today in
7da907f90e74a4edf96d76ee457ff958265ef8d4.  My bad!

The effect was that services were not upgraded live after ‘reconfigure’,
but the new generation was properly installed (you can see it in
‘guix system list-generations’ and in the GRUB menu when you reboot).

Thanks for reporting it!

Ludo’.
