Thanks for the patch. While adding all compression programs supported
(e.g. tar) as inputs is probably too much given their large number, I
think it would be good to add "file" and patch in the path to "file" in
bin/atool. WDYT?
Otherwise LGTM.

Thanks for your feedback. I don't think that file is an important tool
for atool. At least I use only archives with the correct file extension.
And all the archives that I remember that I downloaded from some site
also provided the correct file extension. In that case file is not needed to
detect the archive type.
However, if you think that hard coding the full path to file is a good
thing I will update my patch. It should be doable for me...

As discussed earlier in another thread, I think it’s a good idea to
hard-code absolute file names. Could you update the patch accordingly?
TIA,
Ludo’.

Hi Ludo!
I am really busy for the next weeks. So I won't have time to do some
work for Guix. I will try to improve my patches when I find the time.
Stefan.
