I have nss-certs installed as a global package in my config.scm and
refreshing only doesn't work in the environment created by "guix
environmnet guix --pure" - it works without an environment. Tried
using "--ad-hoc nss-certs", but it didn't work. The manual says I have
to add certs manually if I'm an unprivileged user or running Guix on a
foreign distro, but I'm running Guix natively on my machine. Do I have
to define variables like this anyway?
