Could you then see if this can be reproduced in a VM? That is, run: guix system vm config.scm where config.scm is your system config, with Emacs added to the ‘packages’ field, like so: (operating-system ;; … (packages (cons emacs %base-packages))) If the problem doesn’t show up in the VM, it would mean there’s some corrupt state somewhere on your system. HTH, Ludo’.
