Rolling back to an earlier system generation and running "guix gc" again was a good idea, but you might have missed one or two crucial steps in between: (1) You must *delete* the "older" system generations and user profiles e.g. by running "guix system delete-generations" and "guix package --delete-generations", or else "guix gc" won't clear them from your store. It is not enough to merely switch to an older system generation and profiles. (2) You'll also need to actually reboot into the older system generation, because /run/booted-system will continue to protect (from GC) the system that you last booted into, even after you switch systems. Did you do those things before running "guix gc"? I'm sorry that you've hit this nasty bug. Regards, Mark
