That's right. I wrote a simple script, which shows it:
#!/bin/sh
if [ -z "$1" ]
then exit 1
fi
cprof=$(readlink -f ~/.guix-profile)
init=/gnu/store/*-$1*/
rtest="$(eval echo $init)" # trick!
if [ "$rtest" = "$init" ]
then init=$1
fi
for f in $init
do
f=${f%/}
ref="$(guix gc --referrers $f | grep -v $f)"
if echo "$ref" | grep -q $cprof
then
echo $f in CURRENT profile!
exit
else
echo ● $f 1>&2
if ((${#ref} > 10))
then echo "$ref" | grep --color -e ".*-system" -e "^"
else echo NO REFERRERS 1>&2
fi
echo
fi
## and recursively
for j in $(echo "$ref" | grep -E 'profile$')
do eval $0 $j
done
done
exit

Re: Unexpected results with Guix.
Thanks for reminder about /var/guix/profiles. ❯ guix package -l | grep Generation Generation 158 Nov 02 2019 15:27:19(current) ❯ ls -1 /var/guix/profiles/per-user/jone/ current-guix current-guix-16-link guix-profile guix-profile-158-link current-guix -> current-guix-16-link current-guix-16-link -> /gnu/store/bcbvw5n1pna08pj7zqfflb5zs9yfj90y-profile guix-profile -> guix-profile-158-link guix-profile-158-link -> /gnu/store/wb3b3mj3spny5jx2bj00imrwf5bjw373-profile ❯ ls /gnu/store/bcbvw5n1pna08pj7zqfflb5zs9yfj90y-profile/bin/ guix guix-daemon But it didn't give me any useful information.

Then reboot, and again 'guix gc' -> icecat-68.2.0 finally deleted!

Re: Unexpected results with Guix.
Sorry for not recognizing the issue might be more difficult than the
Guix videos.

I believe
guix gc --referrers
/gnu/store/50530hgnzkxgkqciip68dn7v23cslw1c-icecat-60.8.0-guix1
would list the profiles.
One way of finding the profile’s generation number is browsing the output of
find /var/guix/profiles -type d -exec ls -l {} \;
It is probably not the best way, but it should work.

Florian

Re: Unexpected results with Guix.
The Guix documentation videos explain common usage. They can be found on the Guix website since only a few days ago. For example, reclaiming space is explained at minute 1:01 here: https://guix.gnu.org/videos/everyday-use-of-gnu-guix,-part-two/index.html I hope these videos are prominent enough now, because I think they are very good.

Re: Unexpected results with Guix.
Tobias, in answer to Pierre I have added some additional information. I read the help and manual (but partially), and anywhere is no description of my case. Or in other words, I didn't understand what I didn't understand! Sorry. (It would be very nice in addition to the manual to have any simple how-to).

Re: Unexpected results with Guix.
Jone, Tobias Geerinckx-Rice 写道： Jone 写道： I used to deal only with rpm package manager - there unnecessary dependencies would be removed automatically. How do I get the same result with Guix? I don't have much space on the partition =) Very quick answer: ‘guix gc’. OK, slightly longer answer since we can't find the car keys. In this case, ‘guix gc -d’ is probably what you want. It will delete old profiles and all store entries not used by the remaining profile(s). /gnu/store is like a cache/memoized store/whatever slightly inaccurante memory management metaphor you prefer: when you install a package, it is downloaded or built into the store, and a new profile created that refers to it. When you uninstall a package with ‘guix package -r’, only that reference is removed[0], but the store entry is not. It might come in handy later, or be reused. To actually delete these entries forever, you need to collect garbage (that's what GC stands for). When you happen to install the exact same version of icecat in future, you'll have to download or build it again. Apologies for this rushed explanation; we've found the keys :-) Kind regards, T G-R [0]: Actually, a new profile is created that doesn't refer to icecat anymore.
