Hi Konrad,

The horror bug department worked hard to deliver this one.  :-)

Yes, it=E2=80=99s one of the thinkos I made, fixed in
aa227b3be3d7728331a08dbd139c47c9b271dc23.

If you=E2=80=99re familiar with Dired in Emacs, I=E2=80=99d suggest opening
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root and fixing the symlink targets from
there (with C-c C-q).

If not I can try and come up with a script to do that.

Apologies for the mess!

Ludo=E2=80=99.
