If you can reproduce the bug when GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH is unset, I=E2=80=99m h=
appy
to investigate further.  Otherwise it=E2=80=99s hard to conclude because we=
=E2=80=99re
effectively running arbitrary code so the bug may well have nothing to
do with =E2=80=98guix pull=E2=80=99 itself.

Let me know!
