I think I tracked down the problem. In my home-zsh-service, I added the contents of my previous .zprofile to to my new .zprofile, including "source /etc/profile", so my .zprofile (with autogenerated lines) looked like: source /etc/profile source ~/.profile source /etc/profile Basically, /etc/profile stripped from my PATH the ~/.guix-home/profile which was added by ~/.profile I think this solves the original problem, but I don't like that ~/.guix-profile/ AND ~/.guix-home/profile are added to your path by default. I admit this is probably a "sane default" for most users, but I care a lot about reproducibility. Though I think there should be a better solution, for now I am going to have guix home run "guix package -m" with an empty manifest on reconfigure. Thanks all for your help, Zacchaeus
