Re: Unexpected results with Guix.

[Jone]

We seem to be going in circles =)

What is '-16-link'? - This:
ls /gnu/store/bcbvw5n1pna08pj7zqfflb5zs9yfj90y-profile/bin/
  guix  guix-daemon
guix gc -D /gnu/store/bcbvw5n1pna08pj7zqfflb5zs9yfj90y-profile
  guix gc: error: cannot delete path .. since it is still alive


Not long ago I deleted 'file-roller'. It turns out that it is not so easy to do!
guix-gc-refcount.sh roller
