This file lives in the store. Hum, I am surprised that a power shutdown removed this file. Well, I do not know if you can recover this empty file. At least, you can the previous generation; e.g., guix package --roll-back. Or you can extract a previous manifest with, guix package -p /var/guix/profiles/per-user/<USER>/guix-profile-<NUMBER>-link \ --export-manifest > /tmp/manifest-<NUMBER>.scm where <USER> and <NUMBER> depends on. Then, guix package -m /tmp/manifest-<NUMBER>scm will reinstall the same list of packages but at their current version (the ones of current Guix revision; guix describe). Cheers, simon
