Hi,

Noé Lopez <noe <at> noé.eu> skribis:

I don’t fully understand the situation.  My suggestion (but perhaps
you’re already doing that) would be for PackageKit to invoke ‘guix
repl’, not ‘guile’.  The raison d’être of ‘guix repl’ was precisely to
have the load path for Guix and all its dependencies properly set up.
