Oh dear. I ran into a similar problem (at least that resulted in the same
Guile error message in #47115) to do with grafts and a store that was not
using the hard links for de-duplication. Essentially the de-duplication
masked an issue with differing files being included in the closure.
Can you provide more information about your system? I'm particularly
interested in whether you're using store de-duplication, but other
specifics about your system might be interesting. Do you know when you
last successfully reconfigured?
Best,
Jack
