You mean no longer in $PATH?

What do you mean by your =E2=80=9Cmanifest file was still working=E2=80=9D?

It would be great if you could paste commands that you typed and their
output, so we can more easily understand what is going wrong.

Then the store must be corrupt.  ~/.guix-profile/manifest cannot be
empty, even you ran several =E2=80=98guix=E2=80=99 commands in parallel.

Could you run:

  guix gc --verify=3Dcontents

?

Thanks,
