Hi Ricardo, as no one has responded yet, I'd figure I'd share my 2¢.

This error, in general shape, looks very much like an error I kept getting
when first "deploying" to a guix server. I found that doing a pull on the
server, followed by a system reconfigure then allowed me to actually
successfully run deploy afterwards.

I'm not sure what causes that, but thought perhaps it was to do with
running an older version of guix on the target server before pulling?

This might be way off the mark, but as I said, just in case it helps!
