Hi,

Is this really an error?  Does “guix package -I” lists both Racket and
IcedTea as installed?

I suspect this message might be a harmless warning from one of the
profile hooks, but it’s admittedly confusing.

The documentation has been updated to suggest that:

(It will show up in the on-line copy when we update it.)

Thanks,
