Environment variables hint

Environment variables hint

[amuza]

Hello!

I installed the Guix system. Sometimes, after installing a program I get 
the following message:

  hint: Consider setting the necessary environment variables by running:

       GUIX_PROFILE="/home/me/.guix-profile"
       . "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"

  Alternately, see `guix package --search-paths -p 
"/home/me/.guix-profile"'.


However I read in the manual that that message is only supposed to be 
received when using Guix in a foreign system.

Should I do anything about it?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding it but I think the manual is simply 
mistaken:

   “Unless you're using Guix System, the 'guix install' command 
   must have
    printed this hint:”

I expect this to happen on Guix System, for the same reason it 
happens on other distributions: Guix can't sanely modify the 
environment of its parent shell or other already running 
processes.

Kind regards,
