I added "evolution-data-server" to my list of packages in my home configuration
and got an error while trying to reconfigure:
Loading /gnu/store/2hwp7i1xn24rlsnwmcc8hpbdynznv4an-shepherd.conf.

I installed it manually with `guix install`. I get a new error in Evolution.

This should really be fixed...
Sorry if I'm being overly critical. I come from Fedora, where things are
heavily polished.
