Subject: bug#42992: nix-channel refers to a non existent bash-minimal
Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2020 11:32:57 +1000

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.
