I hope you come back soon!  Even though these kinds of things can be a
rocky road sometimes, bug reports and feedback by people like you are
essential for driving improvements in Guix.

I feel your pain here, Fis.  I have felt the same way when I've been
bitten by specific problems with various technologies, including Guix

specific problems like this in the manual does not tend to improve the
quality of the manual.
