[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

The fix for https://issues.guix.gnu.org/54812 seems to have caused some fallout:

  eeb8ac43c8c0b0cc69422766070dbefc55f5c5c1 services: shepherd: Do not unload transient services.
  a2c759c8304c461d096ab763568e7f71546ff4e8 services: herd: Report whether a service is transient.

These allow guix pull to work:

  ec6a585ee2fd91c857276479411eedd0756e0093 services: Test 'shepherd-service-upgrade' with transient services.
  e25eca35ff04e4234d0376fbb9a8e146869772c8 services: herd: Adjust to <live-service> changes.

But it appears guix system reconfigure still needs more work:

This was fixed earlier today in
7da907f90e74a4edf96d76ee457ff958265ef8d4.  My bad!

The effect was that services were not upgraded live after ‘reconfigure’,
but the new generation was properly installed (you can see it in
‘guix system list-generations’ and in the GRUB menu when you reboot).

Thanks for reporting it!

Ludo’.
