I asked the same question in <irc://irc.libera.chat/#guix> and someone
recommended me setting PAGER to an empty value I did by executing the
following command
,----
| export PAGER=
`----
This solved the issue. Someone also recommended me setting the `PAGER'
environmental variable in my Emacs configuration and shared his personal
configuration which contained the following statements
,----
| (setenv "EDITOR" "emacsclient")
| (setenv "GIT_EDITOR" "emacsclient")
| (setenv "MANPATH" (getenv "MANPATH"))
| (setenv "PAGER" "cat")
| (setenv "PATH" (getenv "PATH"))
| (setenv "PROMPT_COMMAND" "")
| (setenv "SHELL" (getenv "SHELL"))
| (setenv "TERM" (getenv "TERM"))
