Hi,

This is to report:
mpd-service-type needs a pre-existing user in system and does not works
with a new user defined in config.scm. Running guix system reconfigure 
gives some getpw error.

Guix system reconfigure works fine if we add temporarily a user with useradd.

Thanks,
Veera

This bug no longer applies as mpd-service-type has gone through some refactorings in the meantime.
Worth noting is that mpd-service-type isn't meant to be used with interactive user-accounts, for
such cases a home service variant should be used instead.


Cheers,
Bruno
