Thanks to the both of you

David's answer was a bit terse althought straight to the point

Just to widen the discussion a bit, yes, in order to have basic commands in
a "pure" environment, even ls, they need to be explicitly included (either
with the --ad-hoc clause or because they're dependencies of some of the
packages you're creating the env for)

In fact

guix environment --pure --ad-hoc guile-next --search-paths

will show the "bin" that'll be included in the environment path. Just ls
that bin folder and you'll find nothing more than the guile-next
dependencies. No ls, no lesspipe, no dircolors

On this, David's was assuming that I had read the manual already ;-)

Now, as for the reason why ls, lesspipe and dircolors get called, David is
right: the default .bashrc is full of stuff, it's a page long.

So those "errors" are harmless. The resulting environment will be perfectly
functional for Culturia to be explored ;-)

Thanks again !
