This issue was related to a bug with the installer where "%base-packages" was not added to the system configuration file.¹ After working around the installer issue as described in the manual,² I can read manuals normally.

I can't open info manuals in an Emacs freshly installed in my GNU system installed in a real machine using the ISO installer (https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-system-install-1.0.0.x86_64-linux.iso.xz).

## Steps to reproduce

1. guix install emacs
2. Start Emacs.
3. M-x info Enter.
4. m Guix Enter (or any other manual).

## Unexpected result

The manual is not displayed, and the minibuffer says:

    Uncompression program 'sh' not found

## Expected result

The Guix manual is displayed.
