Sorry, that's not quite right. Running 'guix package -i znc' will
install znc and *nothing* else. Only by additionally installing man-db
to your profile will you have MANPATH configured properly. 'guix
package' and 'guix environment' are consistent with each other since
they both use the same underlying profile management code.
Hope this clears things up further,
