Hi,

I'm using Guix' `unattended-upgrade-service-type' as follows, with my own
channel containing modules under (tw ...):
https://cgit.twilken.net/dotfiles/tree/tw/system/btl.scm?h=3D02bc0c28c3e438=
428630cc7757741f05e89358bd#n135

--8<---------------cut here
      (service unattended-upgrade-service-type
        (unattended-upgrade-configuration
         (schedule "0 21 * * *")
         (channels #~(@ (tw channels) %system-channels))
         (operating-system-expression
          #~(@ (tw system btl) %btl-system))))
--8<---------------cut here

This used to work, but now doesn't. The Shepherd timer fails with the
following messages:

--8<---------------cut here
starting upgrade...
guix time-machine: error: failed to load '/gnu/store/yqsacwns98qbaz7bz4clvb=

Wrapping the g-exps as follows does not work:

--8<---------------cut here
(with-imported-modules (source-module-closure '((tw ...))) #~...)
--8<---------------cut here

...because `source-module-closure' filters out any modules that do not matc=
h
the format (gnu ...) or (guix ...). If I give a `#:select?' function to
`source-module-closure' that includes my own channel's modules (and its
dependencies'), then I get errors about Guix not being able to find patches=
 on
`guix system reconfigure':

So: is there a supported way in which I can use expressions from my persona=
l
channel in `unattended-upgrade-configuration'?

Cheers,
Timo
