Sometime in the past couple months, `./pre-inst-env guix system` stopped
working for me on distros besides GuixSD. It fails with 'guix: system:
command not found'.
Using the installed Guix, without pre-inst-env, still works.
------
$ ./pre-inst-env guix system vm foo.scm
guix: system: command not found
Try `guix --help' for more information.
------
I used my trusty strace and found that it fails when it can't find
(json). So, I installed guile-json, and now things are good.
I wonder if this can be improved for users on foreign distros.
The manual suggests that the JSON module is required for some of the
importers, but not for `guix system`. But I see that it is used in (gnu
system vm (system-docker-image)).

Oh indeed, that’s a recent regression. Fixed in
201f2c87693f0f26bb8d00dedc49060d5da43e1f.
Thanks!
