 Guix,

 Perhaps he's just getting old, but our man has a tendency to forget 
 where he was, start over from the beginning, and repeat himself several 
 times:

$ guix package -i knot rofi
$ man 5 knot.conf | grep -E '^(NAME|DESCRIPTION)'
NAME
DESCRIPTION
NAME
DESCRIPTION
NAME
DESCRIPTION
NAME
DESCRIPTION
NAME
$

This patch caused `man` to segfault when invoked outside `guix
environment`(!) so I reverted it for now.

I’m merging it with .  No fix yet but we’re
working on it.  In the meantime, ‘guix pull’ may allow you to work

I didn't know you could restart the Gnome shell that way !
