Cc’ing bug-guix@gnu.org
I suspect something like the attached patch would help (and expand the
closure of network-manager to always include openconnect).
To test, follow section “Building from Git” from the manual or Laura’s
video 04-packaging-part-one.webm from
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-07/msg00249.html>,
but after the initial clone command, do
git apply the-attached.patch
Then after make, do
sudo -E ./pre-inst-env guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm
(or whatever your configuration file is called). I cannot test right
now and have never used openconnect. It is quite possible I made a
mistake.
Regards,
Florian
