Hi Guix!

The following MWE does not compile with pdflatex using the modular
texlive packages:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{acronym}

\begin{document}
\end{document}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It yields the following:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix shell texlive-scheme-basic texlive-acronym -- pdflatex acronym-mwe.tex
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.25 (TeX Live 2023/GNU Guix)

I think this is due to missing dependencies suffix and xstring which are
required to be installed for acronym to work.  On page 10 of the package
docs [1] it reads

\RequiredPackage{suffix, xstring}

1: https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/ctan/macros/latex/contrib/acronym/acronym.pdf

I can provide a patch if desired to add texlive-xstring and
texlive-bigfoot to texlive-acronym’s (propagated-)inputs.  The suffix
package appears to be bundled with texlive-bigfoot.  Do we want to
unbundle it or simply add texlive-bigfoot to the (propagated-)inputs?

Best
