How the initial Docker image
singularsyntax/guix-bootstrap:1.1.0-alpine-3.11 is built?
To understand, you use the Docker image
singularsyntax/guix-bootstrap:1.1.0-alpine-3.11 to build another
Docker image namely guix-docker-image.tar using Guix, right?
Well, that is not the point neither the issue. :-)


Well, instead of that

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
GUIX_PATH=/root/.config/guix/current/bin
$GUIX_PATH/guix pull --branch=$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME--fallback
/root/.config/guix/current/bin/guix gc --delete-generations
/root/.config/guix/current/bin/guix gc --collect-garbage
/root/.config/guix/current/bin/guix gc --optimize
docker commit
/root/.config/guix/current/bin/guix package --install --fallback jq
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

could you try that

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
GUIX_PATH=/root/.config/guix/current/bin
$GUIX_PATH/guix pull --branch=$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME--fallback
/root/.config/guix/current/bin/guix pull -d
/root/.config/guix/current/bin/guix package -d
/root/.config/guix/current/bin/guix gc
docker commit
/root/.config/guix/current/bin/guix package --install --fallback jq
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

?


Last, you could try to see what "guix package --list-profiles" says
and then "guix gc --list-dead".


Hope that helps,
