I now get linewrapping, but provoked errors (these are not new bugs!)
are cut off like

In ./gnu/installer/keymap.scm
    163:7  8 (_ _)
In unknown file:
           7 (scm-error misc-error #f "~A" ("Unable to locate
keym…") …)

This seems like the same issue as Guile error backtraces only reaching
until the right end of the terminal and then getting cut off with
ellipses ….

I hope it is enough to guix pull from a Guix repo with the patch
applied and I do not get wrong output because I have not changed the
gnu/packages/package-management.scm Guix package to refer to a patched
version as well.

Regards,
Florian
