Hi Guix,

Since the recent changes to the way Guix handles Emacs packages Emacs
loads the wrong ‘org’ (the one bundled with Emacs instead of the one
provided by the ‘emacs-org’ package installed with Guix).  This happens
because in EMACSLOADPATH the directory containing the bundled ‘org’
precedes the directory containing the ‘org’ provided by ‘emacs-org’.

It stands to reason that the elisp libraries provided by Emacs itself
shouldn’t be in EMACSLOADPATH in the first place as they are already in
‘load-path’ to which the directories in EMACSLOADPATH are prepended (as
described in the Emacs manual).

I’m currently on commit 116787d.

Regards,

Diego
