'guix -p $HOME/guix-test-profile' lists only 1 generation (but I did create another one and then I rolled-back). I run 'guix gc' and now I find dangling symlinks in my $HOME. One symlink is still active (the active generation) which imply that it is registered as a GC root. However, it's not in '/usr/local/var/guix/profiles' (I installed from source with the default prefix=/usr/local). Not sure where to find it. Thanks for the suggestions. Fede
