Hello Guix,

with the latest commit on master 

```
root <at> guix ~# guix describe
Generation 13   Aug 24 2024 13:19:20    (current)

```

I can't reconfigure my system anymore. The variable
activate-privileged-programs seems to be unbound somewhere.

This is the full log from reconfiguring my system:

```

```

In `(gnu services)` the `activate-privileged-programs` function is used
in a gexp and it looks like it is imported from `(gnu system
privilege)`. Shouldn't this function be imported from `(gnu build
activation)` instead?

I did not hit this issue nor did I hear about it recently, so hopefully
this is a solved problem?  Tobias?

Hi Ludo and Tobias, yes, I think the issue has been resolved in the
meantime.
