I get 'guix pull: error: Git error: failed to resolve path' during the output and then it stops. It should just ignore the news output for that entry and carry on.

Could you explain exactly what it is that ‘guix pull’ fails to find?  Is
it a channel that announces a news file but in fact doesn’t have it?
Or…?

Thanks in advance,
Ludo’.
