...because this only works on the Debian kernel.

We need to find a more robust test for user namespaces, but for now I
reverted the commit.

Closing!  Thanks for the report luhux.  :-)

In the new guix `guix environment --container` is borken.

The reason lies in the 8bc5ca5160db3d82bd5b6b2b7ed80c96f42bd33e of the master branch:



It checks if the file exists and then returns a boolean




None of my 3 Guix System machines have this file but they can still run unprivileged containers.

Please fix it,

thanks very much
