Hello Guix, The attached patch (for core-updates) removes duplicate entries from search paths. I believe this is safe. I was encountering "command line too long" errors while trying to build several higher-level perl modules, and noticed that the values being set for PERL5LIB, PATH, and others were ~318kb each. Investigating further, many of the entries were duplicates, resulting from the many propagated inputs that are needed in perl modules. While it's possible that, even with this patch, we could encounter the same errors in the future, it hasn't happened yet, and I've been able to continue packaging modules for hydra. If it does become a problem again, we could consider patching the perl modules themselves to point to their dependent modules, thus alleviating the need to propagate so many inputs. `~Eric
