Here’s a way to reproduce it:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix package -p foo -i libxml2 coreutils
The following packages will be installed:
   coreutils    8.23    
/gnu/store/l0jj1fha44653zl97kmyfcskfabim93n-coreutils-8.23
   libxml2      2.9.0   
/gnu/store/dng0rvcw4264k0r9fp7618bxsh20bi9v-libxml2-2.9.0

The following derivations will be built:
   /gnu/store/0j5fmnybblpivdm0zn9aipg5m6lgig7d-profile.drv
   /gnu/store/l8jh34wf5nw8hh1li02qmw8iwx20nh8z-info-dir.drv

This is because the search path of libxml2 specifies a file pattern for
files in the xml/ sub-directory.  In the above case, there’s no such
sub-directory, so we get that annoying warning.

Commit 1a09650 works around that.

However, I think we also get it in build logs, so we’ll have to fix it
in ‘search-path-as-list’ eventually.

Thanks,
