Missing built-in commands

Missing built-in commands

[Einar Largenius]

Hello,

I use guix on a foreign distro and the version of bash provided by guix seems to have many builtin commands missing.

If I run /usr/bin/bash I have no issues and can use guix and everything else without issue, but if I run ~/.guix-profile/bin/bash (or just bash) from my terminal I get errors like these:

    bash: shopt: progcomp: invalid shell option name
    bash: shopt: progcomp: invalid shell option name
    bash: complete: command not found
    bash: complete: command not found
    #... and so on

Other builtin commands like help also seems to be missing. Some input commands also don't work, instead printing things like ^P or ^N when trying to browse history.

What ~/.guix-profile/bin/bash points to? See:

    readlink -f ~/.guix-profile/bin/bash

If it's ‘bash-minimal’, then try the ‘bash’ package insted, e.g.:

    guix package --remove bash-minimal
    guix package --install bash

Ah, that solved it. It seems that bash-minimal shadowed bash. Thanks!
