paps not found after migrating VM

[Laura Lazzati]

Hi guix!

I've been migrating my VM to a new fresh one with the same foreign
distro but installed with minimal installation (Ubuntu 18.04) and I am
encountering this issue:
When I try to run the script to create the documentation videos, I get:


/build-video.sh
Entering a Guix container to build the videos.
Available packages in the container: paps make imagemagick guile
ffmpeg inkscape coreutils findutils cairo-xcb
guix environment: error: paps: unknown package

Paps is installed. Here I show the output of 'which paps' 'guix
--version' and 'guix package -I'

New VM that doesn't work:
