Hi,

The ‘emacs’ package seems to be broken, I can reproduce this with

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix time-machine --commit=87b4b0e4385149b40ee87ae2d57712679452746b -- \
     environment --pure --ad-hoc emacs -- emacs --version
/gnu/store/as4fpcyq6qjngp6433w68v09x5znhh10-profile/bin/emacs: error while loading shared libraries: libm17n-core.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The latest “good” commit I know of is
ee86a035c79b838e3fdabbdb88dc30906a83cc30 (still bisecting).

Since this issue seems to have been forgotten or not posing a pressing
problem to you anymore, and since nobody else was able to reproduce it,
I'm closing it.

Feel free to reopen a fresh one with ideally a reproducer if it
occurs/bothers you again!

Thanks,

Maxim
