After upgrades I no longer have the `dragon` command that is used by the
dragon-drop package, making the program unusable. The package is still
in my manifest file that I applied, still shows up in a search, and I
also tried to manually `guix install` it again. No luck.

I use this in a lot of scripts due to gtk file pickers crashing software
for me a lot and trying to avoid them. A fix would be very much
appreciated.

I found that doing the following:
find $(guix build dragon-drop)

revealed that `dragon` is inside .../bin/bin instead of just /bin.
Perhaps this could cause issues with setting the PATH properly.

I did a rollback until dragon worked again, then did a whereis on it
output shows just one bin dir and not two
/gnu/store/njlv1a4b1pvcs42dy0wwgcxr6cx2wf55-profile/bin/dragon


Hopefully this info helps someone figure out the problem.
