Subject: bug#37843: GNOME night light doesn't change colors with GNOME 3.30
Date: Sun, 20 Oct 2019 22:54:53 -0400 (EDT)

Hi Guix,

After the recent core-updates merge which included GNOME 3.30, it appears 
the the night light feature, which makes the screen colors warmer, doesn't 
seem to work. It appears to activate fine via the setting and via the 
timer, but the screen colors don't change. It also appears that colord 
isn't running, which I suspect is related.
