Hi, after doing a guix pull && guix package -u
this message is shown
hint: Consider setting the necessary environment variables by running:
GUIX_PROFILE="/home/atai/.guix-profile"
. "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"
I believe this actually means to ask the user to do
GUIX_PROFILE="/home/atai/.guix-profile" . "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"
and if this is true, I would recommend to print the message as
hint: Consider setting the necessary environment variables by running:
GUIX_PROFILE="/home/atai/.guix-profile" \
. "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"
to make it easy for the user to just copy and to paste that command line as it.
Thanks

This is correct as is.
You set the GUIX_PROFILE variable in the first command and then
you source a file referencing the variable.
You cannot do this in one go, because $GUIX_PROFILE would evaluate
to the empty string as the command has not been run yet.
