Hi !

I do have the same problem here, and have found a temporary fix to allow
finishing the reconfiguration.

If you `herd stop root` before reconfiguring home, the `guix home
reconfigure` should finish, with an error, but allowing the
reconfiguration.

Just in case it might be helpful for developers :
The error happends in the `activate profile` phase, when herd and
shepherd are involved.

The reconfiguration actually works when there is no service-type related
to a herd service in the configuration (here it was the case with dbus I
think).

Good luck,

Nicolas
