MANPATH is set by the man-db package, and /etc/profile. INFOPATH is set by the emacs package, the texinfo package, and /etc/profile.
/etc/profile sets the variables as such: export MANPATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/share/man:/run/current-system/profile/share/man export INFOPATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/share/info:/run/current-system/profile/share/info This means if I use multiple profiles, and I don't have `(and man-db (or emacs texinfo))` in each profile, then I can't access the info and man files using the info and man commands. For example: Fails to find man page guix environment --ad-hoc neovim man nvim Finds man page just fine guix environment --ad-hoc man-db neovim man nvim
