In the interest of stating problems next to the fix, this fixes the
error message ...
"Couldn't find a proper `ls' command"
... when tramping _in_ to GuixSD from another GuixSD machine.
Does it work when connecting from Guix on a Foreign distro?
Regarding the comment ";; probably only helps if you start on a guixsd
machine..!", I find that, if I apply this code after the initial attempt
to tramp in from a foreign distro fails, it rescues the tramp session.
So I wonder, can this be conditioned to run later in the tramp "scheme
of things" in order to provide a generic fix for tramping into GuixSD
from any distro?
