Hello,
when executing
guix-package --list-available | grep mit
I see two packages:
mit-krb5 1.11 distro/packages/mit-krb5.scm:29:3
mit-krb5 1.11 distro/packages/sasl.scm:145:3
The first one is the really available one; the second one was contained in
a file sasl.scm in an old branch. Both the file and the branch have been
deleted in the meantime. However, I suppose the package exists still
somewhere in the nix store.
Is this listing of obsolete packages a bug or a feature?
Andreas

I suppose the file sasl.scm still exists along with the other files.
Even if it’s not under version control, the module-listing code in
distro.scm will stumble upon it, and thus list any packages that it
exports.
If you remove that file, it will no longer show up.
HTH,
Ludo’.
