I've just encountered the same problem with fontconfig (after installing GuixSD, running guix pull and guix system reconfigure, --no-grafts was required). Would it be possible for the grafts to keep a symlink (somehow registered to be part of the grafted fontconfig so that guix gc doesn't remove it) instead of patching the binaries? /gnu/store/<old-hash>-fontconfig-2.11.94 -> /gnu/store/<grafted-hash>-fontconfig-2.11.94 Best regards, -- Edwin Török | Co-founder and Lead Developer Skylable open-source object storage: reliable, fast, secure http://www.skylable.com
