Maybe I get it wrong but shoudn't the following call ~/tmp$ guix shell --pure texlive ungoogled-chromium icecat git emacs-pulseaudio-control pulseaudio alsa-utils nextcloud-client xf86-input-wacom libwacom gnome-icon-theme xournalpp portaudio poppler gtk+ emacs rofi terminator alsa-lib pinentry-emacs gnupg isync xmodmap file pkg-config autoconf-archive libtool libpng make mu gcc-toolchain automake autoconf setxkbmap -- pdflatex test (all packages that guix package -I return are mentioned after --pure) have the same effect as calling "pdflatex test"? However the "guix shell..." call does not produce any error, while pdflatex test does.
