> Hello.

> Alex Kost's suggestion to use "sudo -E" for system reconfiguration 
> is what is needed when setting GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH in a user's environment
> to use personal packages.

> >From sudo's man page:
> -----
>      -E, --preserve-env
>                  Indicates to the security policy that the user wishes to pre‐
>                  serve their existing environment variables.  The security
>                  policy may return an error if the user does not have permis‐
>                  sion to preserve the environment.
