Hi,

Is this really an error?  Does =E2=80=9Cguix package -I=E2=80=9D lists both=
 Racket and
IcedTea as installed?

I suspect this message might be a harmless warning from one of the
profile hooks, but it=E2=80=99s admittedly confusing.

The documentation has been updated to suggest that:

  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=3D6cd1059340

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

Thanks,
