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.

Yeah that’s something I noticed here:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2020-04/msg00032.html

Commit a322e9d16b227484ce04721fee0f99618cb1007e does that.

The result is not optimal yet because it just says “duplicate entries”.
Ideally we’d be able to show a ‘fold-services’ trace of sorts telling
showing where the faulty entries come from.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
