bug#29333: potential dependency bug in packages

[Adonay Felipe Nogueira]

I don't use GuixSD, but at least with GNU Guix in foreign distros you
have to install the appropriate icon themes from GNU Guix and add a path
to the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable. however, I think
GuixSD has an automated way of dealing with this, perhaps put the themes
in the system configuration?

If you do want to know the way to work around the issue when using only
GNU Guix (not GuixSD), see [1]. Notice that from the title of the soame
thread referenced in [1], you can see that simply telling the system to
replace XDG_DATA_DIRS with itself (taken from the variable expansion at
runtime) and adding stuff to it, has some side-effects in foreign
distros, this is why [1] proposes an alternative method in foreign
distros.
