Hello, commit 40310efde9b4a4f2cf98081d6cd10f843685ebb6 fix this by merge search-paths from multiple profiles by `guix package --search-paths`, in ~/.bashrc and ~/.zprofile (skeletons, so existed systems need manual update). Close now!

bug#20255: 'search-paths' should respect both user and system profile.

Some progress has been made: fc2d233 allows search paths for multiple profiles to be combined. So I think I will eventually (‘guix-devel’ needs to be updated first) change /etc/profile to do: eval `guix package -p /run/current-system/profile \ -p $HOME/.guix-profile --search-paths`

Currently, search-paths built only from packages in user's profile. As reported by Andy Wingo in #guix, when I have: perl installed into system profile perl-xml-parser installed into user profile guix package --search-paths won't give a hint about PERL5LIB, so it's very likely end up with a
