Could it just be that the commit I was on had linux-libre 6.11 still but
guix pull was saying that linux-libre 6.11 was replaced with linux-libre
6.12 ?

I sometimes had failures that repeat if I retry immediately, but don't
repeat if I retry the next day.

I tried:
$ sudo -E bash -c "echo \$PATH"

On guix, it gave the same like "echo $PATH". On trisquel, it gives the
default path that is in /etc/environment, not the same like "echo $PATH".

I don't know about other environment variables, but it gives a hint that
"sudo -E" can behave differently on different distros.
