Subject: [PATCH] environment: Fix ‘--check’ with exported PS1 variable.
Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2021 20:46:48 -0300

If your .bashrc (unnecessarily) exports PS1 and you’re in a non-login
shell, Guix crashes:

This is because the match pattern doesn’t expect `(vhash-assoc "PS1" actual)`
to return a pair.

* guix/scripts/environment.scm (validate-child-shell-environment): Change
match pattern to expect a pair.
