This issue is still kinda relevant:
$ guix shell -C conda
[env]$ conda --version
conda 25.9.1
[env]$ conda init bash
...
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'sudo'
But conda does actually add the 'conda initialize' block to ~/.bashrc,
so it does work and the error can be ignored.
But then again, ~/.bashrc is not actually sourced when running `guix
shell -C conda`, so one still has to manually do that part.
Nevertheless, maybe we should close this issue and
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/42920 and step back and rethink what we want
our conda approach to be, and define some use cases that we want to
support (or not want to support) and then take it from there.
I've personally decided to wean myself away from conda, as Guix solves
the same problems better. I prefer to spend my time on getting more
conda packages into Guix than getting conda to work properly.
So maybe I will step up to improve conda on Guix, it is currently low on
my priorities.
