Other programs seemed fine (make, gcc, guix) as I could compile my builds of dwm and st. After I ran `guix system reconfigure` and I made sure my profile contains all the software I need at the latest version by running `guix package -m` on my manifest, everything went back to normal -- I could use ls and rm again. Sadly, I didn't gather more information as I didn't experiment much with the broken system because I freaked out and tried to fix it as fast as possible. I don't know what to make of this. Brett Gilio suggested it may have been a bad symlink job. Cheers, Sergiu
