Given that I did the guix pull yesterday/today and that the store inconsistencies disappeared with that, I have to assume the following:

(1) Either my guix installation is broken somehow, although I never messed around in the store and only have quite basic usage using environments and profiles (actually haven't touched profiles in a while and this is the first time in a long time that I have thought I should make a profile for something, instead of merely an environment), or (2) the command `guix shell -C emacs
emacs-magit -E TERM -- emacs` does something different, than the command, which I use to make a profile and that therefore the results are different.

If (1) is the case, then I guess there has to be a bug somewhere in guix package manager, which messed things up, since I only use very few basic commands of guix to install packages, use environments and profiles. It's not like I go into the store and mess around in the folders ^^'

If (2) is the case, then I am simply not knowledgeable about guix to say what that difference might be.

I am not sure I really want to somehow remove guix and then reinstall it again, because everything else seems to work just fine.

Not sure what to do now. I might have to abandon the project of getting reproducible emacs setup using guix again, or simply cannot use guix' profile functionality for that.

Best regards,
Zelphir
