It's initdb refusing to clobber the= existing database (which has been created by the postgresql-service instan= ce with no #:config-file argument) and helpful in preventing data loss. The actual problem only arises because guix reconfigure doesn't deem a chan= ge in service arguments as reason to restart (or reconfigure) a service. I.e. before, my config was: (postgresql-service ) Then I did guix reconfigure ... Afterwards, I changed the config to: (postgresql-service #:config-file ...)

In the postgres-service definition in guix/gnu/services/databases.scm , the= re's a %default-postgres-config . That's what I meant.
