[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Well, I figured out my issue. I had created backup files manifest.scm 
and channels.scm and put them in the ~/.config/guix directory for 
storage. Turns out that these files, or at least the channels one, get 
read and used automatically by `guix pull`.  I have moved those files 
to a different directory for storage and backup, and now everything 
seems fine.

Turns out the commit that `guix pull` was stuck on was the one defined 
in my channels.scm file.

If anyone else experiences the same issue, perhaps this will help.
