Hi,

I have trouble running the guix-supplied `mptopdf' which I think is
related to the guix packaging / bundling.  The file I run this on stems
from my pre-guix times, so I think it should be fine. The error seems
to stem from a bash invocation.

  % mptopdf --latex myfig.mp
  /gnu/store/87kif0bpf0anwbsaw0jvg8fyciw4sz67-bash-5.0.16/bin/bash: -S:
invalid option
  Usage:	/gnu/store/87kif0bpf0anwbsaw0jvg8fyciw4sz67-bash-

For this


  % type mptopdf                                                      
  mptopdf is /home/holger/.guix-profile/bin/mptopdf
