Since one of the aims of guix is to empower users, this is more cryptic.
One needs to know that ":6:0" means "line 6". Thus such a terse message
raises the bar.

I agree with George: Even if I so not understand the language the hint
is written in (English!), the hint is still, l useful since it contains
commands i can try. If you ever picked log-entries and commands from a
Russian, Chinese, Japaneses, etc web-site, you know what I mean.
