Guix Cuirass - Continuous Integration - Crash Error

[Reza Alizadeh Majd]

Hi Guix, 

I want to setup a CI build server using _Cuirass_ to build a series of custom 
packages for Guix. but I receive following error and cuirass-service crashes, 
could anyone help me on this? 

```

In case that it might be helpful, here is my `%cuirass-specs` definition: 
```
(define %cuirass-specs
   #~(list '((#:name . "my-manifest")
             (#:load-path-inputs . ("guix"))
             (#:package-path-inputs . ("custom-packages"))
             (#:proc-input . "guix")
             (#:proc-file . "build-aux/cuirass/gnu-system.scm")
             (#:proc . cuirass-jobs)
             (#:proc-args . ((subset . "manifests")
                             (systems . "x86_64-linux")
                             (manifests . (("config" . "manifest.scm")))))
             (#:inputs . (((#:name . "pantherx")
                           (#:url . 
"https://user:address@hidden/development/guix-pantherx.git";)
                           (#:load-path . ".")
                           (#:branch . "master")
                           (#:no-compile? #t)))))))
. . .

(service cuirass-service-type
                            (cuirass-configuration
                              (interval 10)
                              (use-substitutes? #t)
                              (port 8082)
                              (host "0.0.0.0")
                              (specifications %cuirass-specs)))
```


I also added `manifest.scm` file beside my system configuration file with 
following
content:
```
(use-modules (px packages accounts))
(packages->manifest
   (list px-accounts))
```
