'guix package' commands keep giving me this output:

The following environment variable definitions may be needed:
   export GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH="/home/taylan/.guix-profile/lib/guile/2.0/site-ccache:/home/taylan/.guix-profile/share/guile/site/2.0${GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH:+:}$GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH"

I already have said paths in my $GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH.  In fact, I
get the output even if I define it to have *solely* those two paths.

taylan <at> T420:~$ guix package -r nano
[... snip ...]
75 packages in profile
The following environment variable definitions may be needed:
   export GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH="/home/taylan/.guix-profile/lib/guile/2.0/site-ccache:/home/taylan/.guix-profile/share/guile/site/2.0${GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH:+:}$GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH"
taylan <at> T420:~$ echo $GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH
/home/taylan/.guix-profile/lib/guile/2.0/site-ccache:/home/taylan/.guix-profile/share/guile/site/2.0
