bug#34637: inferiors example yields error from guix package

[Martin Flack]

That said there was no log file, but I've pulled since, so I pulled again and redid the test.

``

There is maybe an extra clue in guix environment output, regarding repl:

```

Could you paste the file reported by:

  guix build --log-file /gnu/store/zxrm9a410iywcdm71crjbg2j4ggpvdbv-profile.drv

?
