I use nix for some libre software not available in guix yet. currently 
I'm getting the following error:

b <at> ui ~$ nix-channel --update

-------------------------------

I am unsure where this bash-minimal comes from. it is not the latest 
bash-minimal returned by guix build bash-minimal. Adding bash-minimal to 
nix's inputs didn't fix it.

Do you use nix-service-type [1], which should pass bash-minimal and
other utilities to Nix sandbox?
