Subject: Channels error is too vague
Date: Wed, 08 Jan 2020 13:22:51 -0700
When I create a channel and leave out %default-channels, it gives me an
error. "error: 'guix' channel is lacking". This is unclear.
I asked about it on IRC, and was told it refers to a channel called
guix. The error message should elaborate that guix expects a channel
with the name "guix".
