foreign distro breaks guix and the foreign distro, see below:
Steps to reproduce:
The below system was instantiated witg guix system container

upon starting it with sudo /gnu/store/asdfasdfasdf-run-container
and connecting to it with
sudo guix container exec 8625 /run/current-system/profile/bin/bash
--login
