Installing a missing package by guessing from non-existing command is a
Fedora's “feauture” of Bash.  I believe this is a reason of following
failures.  You probably could avoid this by starting a Bash process with

    bash --noprofile

Please, run 'sudo' not from 'guix environment'.  (Press Ctrl+D to exit
from an 'guix environment').
