Thanks for the suggestion! I think I did. Running

  sudo guix gc --verify=contents,repair

shows that glibc, perl and ffmpeg are corrupted.

However, the repair doesn't fix the
"/gnu/store/4hcr7ygdhaxws6q5dj806cbvq0dkfgkw-ffmpeg-4.1.1" item.
I guess this's because it is built using grafting.
Anyway, I roll back, delete the latest generation, build ffmpeg and it
works again!

Thanks,
Alex
