[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
I tracked down a bug where octave has a function called 'copyfile' which
shells out to call 'cp -r' but in an environment without coreutils, or
when in a script with PATH unset, it fails.

try it out with the following:
touch foo
guix environment --pure --ad-hoc octave-cli -- \
    octave --eval 'copyfile("foo","bar");'

Subject: [PATCH] gnu: octave-cli: Make coreutils an explicit input
Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2024 06:56:02 +0200

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
This ensures coreutils like `cp` are available when running octave,
which is assumed by some of its builtin functions.
