Could we make all guile-* packages emit this suggestion?
This limitation is the same as <https://bugs.gnu.org/22138>.
It’s actually a different issue here: the profile contains packages that
provide share/guile/2.2, but the same profile doesn’t contain any
package that “claims” share/guile/2.2. Thus, everything is working
according to plan, so to speak.
I understand this particular case is confusing though. It’s confusing
because Guile is already installed, albeit in another profile.
What we could do to avoid this confusion is pre-define GUILE_LOAD_PATH
and GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH in /etc/profile, just like we do for
INFOPATH et al.
Sounds good to me.
What I am after is lowering the bar for the user to learn and use guile
and readline seems like a pretty important component to avoid typing
everything over and over.
We want guix to be guile land and for guile land to be nice and welcome
out the box.
I therefore suggest also adding guile-readline to %base-packages if it
does not produce too much overhead.
