Ouch. “It used to be” (speaking like a veteran :-)) that Emacs in Guix would not use EMACSLOADPATH. Then we switched to EMACSLOADPATH, which had some advantages, but necessarily has this drawback. IIUC, <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/45359> is about possibly backtracking. Maxim, what’s the status of this one? Thanks, Ludo’.
