Hello Guix!
As discussed the [[
https://logs.guix.gnu.org/guix/2023-07-21.log#142414][other day]], I'm providing a more detailed description
(see below) of the unexpected behaviour and an archive containing
enough material to reproduce the bug.
* Experiment
** pkgex-1 -> /gnu/store/0yk3xz85…
The Guix package ~pkgex-1~ is built then its path (~/gnu/store/0yk3xz85…~) is
shown from within a container (~guix shell -C -f guix.scm ripgrep fd coreutils
emacs~).
#+begin_example
$ make build # equivalent to: guix build -f guix.scm
…
$ guix shell -C -f guix.scm ripgrep fd coreutils emacs
[env]$ ls -al $EMACSLOADPATH/

#+end_example
** /gnu/store/8k18bghzcijbps8kix3wqp34x4smfc5l-pkgex-1
This very file (~
pkgex.el.org~) is updated with this content then the package is
built again.
#+begin_example
$ make build # equivalent to: guix build -f guix.scm
…
/gnu/store/8k18bghzcijbps8kix3wqp34x4smfc5l-pkgex-1
#+end_example
** pkgex-1 -> /gnu/store/0yk3xz85…
Unexpectedly, the package linked from within the container using the same
command as above is not updated, we observe:
- ~pkgex-1 -> /gnu/store/0yk3xz85…~
instead of:
- ~pkgex-1 -> /gnu/store/8k18bghz…~

** pkgex-1 -> /gnu/store/8k18bghz…
Nevertheless, if we build a new environment (because we added the
~tree~ package), then, the newly built package
(~/gnu/store/8k18bghz…~) is taken into account.
