There were a couple of issues on the way.  Most likely you hit
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/64653> (now fixed), which was marking
‘networking’ as failing to start even though pfinet had been correctly
started.  Consequently, re-running ‘herd start networking’ would fail as
above because the translator was already running.

So if you rebase above 4e431fda5f2ec76b6d6a271be7c30b1324431329, it
should be fine!
