Error when tab-completing Guix-subcommand in Emacs' Eshell

[Mekeor Melire]

Hello Guix! :)

When I open Emacs ("emacs -q"), run Eshell (M-x eshell RET) and 
type "guix " followed by TAB, why do I get the following error 
message?

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

This happens because Eshell does not run the external program 
"guix" but the emacs-lisp function "guix" from the emacs-guix 
package that is broken, as far as I know. As described at (info 
"(eshell) Built-ins"), you can try typing "*guix" instead. (Or 
uninstall emacs-guix.)

I hope that helps!
