IIUC, that only works if 'foot' is installed in in the system profile,
and not if it is installed in the user profile. Unlike, say,
'gnome-terminal', 'foot' doesn't seem like something that would be
in the system profile. The variable would need to be added to
$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile instead.
... (me notices .guix-profile in the example above) ...
Ok, this could work with things in the user profile, but it's a rather
ad-hoc solution and won't work with "guix shell", so I would prefer
adding it to 'etc/profile'.
One option is to modify 'build-etc/profile' to always add
'TERMINFO_DIRS' (and maybe DICPATH, GUIX_LOCPATH and
SSL_CERT_DIR/FILE?) to the list of search paths.

I'm currently on Debian+Guix. $TERMINFO_DIRS is not set here.
Even if it was, I doubt you'd find the files for 'foot' in there
unless 'foot' is installed with the foreign distro's installer
-- AFAICT, 'foot' is not present in ncurses' terminfos.
If I do "grep -RF foot /usr/share/terminfo/", I don't find any results.
I do find results for 'kitty' though, which makes it odd that some
previous tests I did with 'kitty' failed ...
Greetings,
Maxime
