[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I got this error when reconfiguring with a recent revision of Guix.

Moving the rottlog-configuration to modify-services for %base-services
resolved this I believe, but that was a guess based on memory. Even if
the system definition is invalid, I don't think here should be where it
fails.
