Hi!
I'm not entirely sure why this exact error pops up, but i think this
might render a nice opportunity for a small Guix shell/environment
feature!
I have created a simplistic patch, unfortunately that does not seem to
work -- which puzzles me somewhat. What else is needed to add a user to
a group in a guix shell container? On the *nix systems i'm acquainted
with there was nothing more to it than adding the correct entry in
/etc/group and logging in (again). What am i missing in the context of
Guix containers?
Though my patch is not ready (or working) i attach it below.
