MANPATH contains the system profile twice:
/run/current-system/profile/share/man:/home/marius/.guix-profile/share/man:/run/current-system/profile/share/man

I think this might be a duplicate of the following more general bug
("Duplicate entries in various environment variables"):
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=23118
What do you think? Should we treat this as a separate issue, or do you
think this should be closed as a duplicate of 23118?

Ah, I was not aware of that one.

Let's close this in favor of your much better report :)

I think that one was related to gnome-terminal being wrapped.
The MANPATH issue is different: /etc/profile defines MANPATH
unconditionally (see (gnu system)), but then, when you have man-db in
the system profile (which is the case by default),
/run/current-system/profile/etc/profile also defines it, hence the
duplicate entry.
If we remove MANPATH from /etc/profile, ~/.guix-profile/share/man will
no longer be there, unless the user has explicitly installed man-db in
their profile.
I can’t think of a good solution here. Thoughts?
