Xlockmore is installed as a setuid program, you can see it under /run/setuid-programs. Consequently, it does not show up in the =E2=80=9Csy= stem profile=E2=80=9D, /run/current-system/profile, which is why M-x guix-installed-system-packages does not show it. > I had a similar experience with xorg-server---again not listed in > the system packages. This is a similar story: Xorg is available on your machine for use by the Xorg service, but it=E2=80=99s not available in the system profile. > My questions: > > - is this is "bug or a feature"? Feature? :-) Namely, not all the packages =E2=80=9Cin use=E2=80=9D by vari= ous parts of the system need to be in a profile. > - are there other more "comfortable" ways to access the man pages of > such packages? You can always do things like: guix environment --ad-hoc man-db xorg-server -- man Xorg HTH! Ludo=E2=80=99.
