(Note that =E2=80=98reconfigure=E2=80=99 succeeded; it=E2=80=99s only =E2=
=80=98user-homes=E2=80=99 that failed
to start, no big deal.)

That happens when updating a system that dates back to before
6061d01512081c93c53fdd1d4302b36696403061.

What happens, I think, the new =E2=80=98user-homes=E2=80=99 service is star=
ted (in
PID=C2=A01), but it still refers to the old (gnu build activation), which
expects a tuple instead of a <user-account> record.

We can=E2=80=99t fix this now.  To avoid this we could make the =E2=80=98us=
er-homes=E2=80=99
code a standalone program (with =E2=80=98program-file=E2=80=99) instead of =
running it in
PID=C2=A01.

Thoughts?

Ludo=E2=80=99.
