Hello Konrad,

You can run something like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
,use (guix describe) (gnu packages) (gnu packages linux)
(%package-module-path)
(package-channels strace)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

in a "guix repl" to determine the channel providing "strace". If you
replace "strace" by a package provided by my-channel, "package-channels"
should return a list containing the default Guix channel as well as
my-channel.

Mathieu
