This is fixed by 323b58ac18af8417d5b206288d09d9bb9385d7ae. The patch changes the order in which channels and their dependencies are traversed from depth-first to breadth-first. That gives more precedence to user-supplied channels, which are likely more specific than what appears in ‘.guix-channel’ files. So the fix kinda sidesteps the issue but I think it makes sense to do it that way. Ludo’.
