[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello,
Yesterday my PC lost power and when I turned it back on I started getting the error "guix package: unsupported manifest format".

I have tried using "guix time-machine" to revert to a working commit and try again but this does not work.

I then can see that my ~/.guix-profile/manifest is empty, thus I think it is safe to say that this is where the issue is originating, however I am unable to rewrite this file, so I was wondering if there was any fix to this?

I also used the command "guix refresh" and saw that many packages needed to be refreshed, however I cannot finish this command as I get the following error:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,Tyler Wolf
