I'm guessing that it probably has to do something with this:

address@hidden:guix$ pwd
/home/phf/.config/guix
address@hidden:guix$ ll
total 12
drwxr-xr-x  2 phf phf 4096 May  1 13:47 ./
drwx------ 36 phf phf 4096 Apr 24 23:37 ../
-rw-r--r--  1 phf phf  266 May  1 13:47 channels.scm
lrwxrwxrwx  1 phf phf   37 May  1 09:35 current -> 
/home/phf/.config/guix/current-1-link/
lrwxrwxrwx  1 phf phf   51 May  1 09:35 current-1-link -> 
/gnu/store/2lnvsjhia248j1glx6j736l2m7x12idg-profile/


Meaning: whatever is available should live in my profile. If it's not then a 
possible reason is that my profile is messed up somehow.
