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,

Yes and no - it still existed in the guix installation directory, but not
in the source directory. After removing it, the extra package disappeared.
Thanks!
Would it make sense to first empty $PREFIX/share/guile/site/2.0 before
installing the files during "make install"?

I don’t think so, that’s not what usually happens upon “make install”.
