You should too, but apparently you don't. 'bash' is included in %base-packages, which should normally be included in your 'packages' field of your OS config. It should look something like this: ;; This is where we specify system-wide packages. (packages (append (list ;; your added ;; packages here ) %base-packages)) If you don't include %base-packages in your system profile, you are likely to run into problems. Several of the packages in there could be safely deleted, but some of them, including 'sh', are widely assumed to always be in PATH. If you want to remove a few programs from %base-packages, I recommend doing something like this: ;; This is where we specify system-wide packages. (packages (append (list ;; your added ;; packages here ) (fold delete %base-packages (list sudo nano)))) Note that 'fold' is in (srfi srfi-1), so you'll need to import it in your OS config file if you use it.

The system configuration generated by the Guix 1.0 installer did not include %base-packages. The bug has been reported (https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=35541). My packages form looks like this: (packages (list (specification->package "nss-certs"))) The Guix manual has been updated with instructions to work around the problem (https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/guix.html#Preparing-for-Installation). So one should add: (packages (append (list (specification->package "nss-certs")) %base-packages)) and then: guix pull && sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm This may fix some of the bugs I've reported (and the ones I haven't). > If you want to remove a few programs from %base-packages, I recommend > doing something like this: > > ;; This is where we specify system-wide packages. > (packages (append (list > ;; your added > ;; packages here > ) > (fold delete %base-packages (list sudo nano)))) > > Note that 'fold' is in (srfi srfi-1), so you'll need to import it in > your OS config file if you use it. Good to know. I'll go with the whole set, though. Thanks, Mark.
