Hi Efraim,

thanks for helping me!

This is what I see when I run `which -a guix` as a user, and when run via
sudo. I do reconfigure the system with `sudo guix ...`. I used to as root. Not
sure if that matters.

[roman@m1 guix]$ which -a guix
/home/roman/.config/guix/current/bin/guix
/run/current-system/profile/bin/guix
/home/roman/.config/guix/current/bin/guix
/run/current-system/profile/bin/guix

[roman@m1 guix]$ sudo which -a guix
/home/roman/.config/guix/current/bin/guix
/run/current-system/profile/bin/guix
/home/roman/.config/guix/current/bin/guix
/run/current-system/profile/bin/guix

I have no idea if this is good or bad. :)

I don't think I have any `guix` package installed in my profiles. I checked
this with:

guix package -I | grep guix
sudo guix package -I | grep guix

Both profiles also seem to have a recent version of the `guix` cli.

[roman@m1 guix]$ guix --version
guix (GNU Guix) 68edde635d7f60fb48b2b664e55118fdc3021a73

[roman@m1 guix]$ sudo guix --version
guix (GNU Guix) 68edde635d7f60fb48b2b664e55118fdc3021a73

Was your thinking that I may got so far back in time somehow that the `guix`
package I was using did not contain the `efi-bootloader-chain` variable, and
thus `lookup-bootloader-by-name` could not find it?

Good idea, I haven't even thought of that. :)

But I think that's not the case here, isn't it?

Do you have any other ideas?

Thanks, Roman.
