I've been getting this error ever since I first installed Guix on Arch, but I have no idea why. I've ran guix pull and guix package -u both as root and as my own user several times since then but this error hasn't gone away.

Also I noticed that some functionality that works on my GuixSD install (like the `guix search` command) is simply nonexistent.

For obvious reasons I have no idea what version I'm on but I've run guix pull sometime in the last 48 hours and I originally installed it about a month or two before 1.0 came out. I also had some failed attempts at installing the AUR version but I don't know if that affected the later version that I installed straight from the offical script.

It sounds like ~/.config/guix/current/bin is missing from PATH.  See
'4.6 Invoking guix pull' in the manual.

Make sure that directory appears first in $PATH in order to get the
correct 'guix' executable.

Huh, I thought sourcing `~/.config/guix/current/bin` was enough...
guix stopped complaining about $PATH after I added that
maybe there should be a warning about the .config path too...

Hello,

‘guix pull’ does tell you to update PATH if needed.

‘guix describe’ also outputs a hint nowadays (pre-1.0.1):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ /run/current-system/profile/bin/guix describe
guix describe: error: failed to determine origin
hint: Perhaps this `guix' command was not obtained with `guix pull'? Its version string is 1.0.0-1.326dcbf.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

HTH,
Ludo’.
