Hi,

Jesse Gibbons <jgibbons2357 <at> gmail.com> skribis:

> When I create a channel and leave out %default-channels, it gives me an
> error. "error: 'guix' channel is lacking". This is unclear.
> I asked about it on IRC, and was told it refers to a channel called
> guix. The error message should elaborate that guix expects a channel
> with the name "guix".

Commit f75243e17e3ff88582314bcb8450e654bb0b556b fixes it.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
