bug#38433: ProofGeneral and Emacs sharing a profile

[Brett Gilio]

There is an issue after the EMACSLOADPATH change that creates a problem
when `proof-general` and `emacs` share a profile. This issue can be
replicated as follows:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix environment --ad-hoc proof-general emacs
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

When you launch the client of either of these after spinning up the
environment, you are prompted with this from the *Messages* buffer.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Loading /gnu/store/bi3yv2q84fpyq1ym9z8rpa8hv2xhz1bf-profile/share/emacs/site-lisp/ProofGeneral/generic/proof-autoloads...done
Loading /gnu/store/bi3yv2q84fpyq1ym9z8rpa8hv2xhz1bf-profile/share/emacs/site-lisp/ProofGeneral/generic/proof-autoloads...
byte-code: Already loaded
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Loading stops without an error message at this point, failing to
complete the initialization process.

I can probably figure out this issue, but I am currently drained for
time, so I am reporting it here. If nobody else gets to it before I do,
I will come back to it.

Thanks!

It could pg's fault. We have a vcry old vcrsion that is probably completely broken. I tried to package a newer version, but being not an emacs user it was too hard for me. Maybe someone can give it a try (you? :p)

I have began working updating the package. :)

A lot of things have changed between the current version in Guix, and
the latest upstream. So I want to be thorough. Will update on the status
and send a patch soon.

Commit cb296dfa2e2938d18ae0ee347bed0cc94bc79cf8 fixes this issue.  The
command,

    guix shell -C emacs proof-general -E TERM \
         --  emacs foo.v

leads to this ’*Messages*’:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Loading /gnu/store/wbr97j47i3z6m19gycm6ryb6k0xdlg3i-proof-general-4.4-0.bc86736\

Therefore, closing.

Feel free to reopen if I miss something or misunderstand your report.
