I have just checked out and I am probably failing but "./pre-inst-env
guix filesearch whatever" raises an error with the backtrace:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Backtrace:

I will comment later on some specific points.

BTW, thank you for revivifying the topic, especially the database. :-)
