What Git commit does this happen on? Can you share the exact sequence of
commands that cause the error?

Leo, thank you so much for your concern, I should have clarified this earlier

I found the solution

If I try to lint a package INSIDE an environment made with "guix environment guix" this doesn't happen and the linting succeeds

I thought that "pre-inst-env" was setting things so that the right Guile was automagically being called even outside of an environment. I was wrong.

I was confused because I had a Fedora Guile that I didn't remember about so that one got called when outside of an environment and I wasn't realizing that. I thought it was the right one that was being called

So A Fedora Guile was used to dlopen a Guix gnutls and that's a mix with a bad karma; Ludo explained that in this post https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2016-06/msg00069.html

(thanks to Jlicht for this link)

When I removed it, no Guile could be found when outside of an environment so that made me realize the mistake that I had been doing until then.
